The armed conflict on November 20 between the armed ethnic groups and the government forces in northern Myanmar not only poses serious obstacles to the peace process vigorously promoted by the new government of Myanmar, but also posed a great threat to the security of the China-Myanmar border. Anbound Think Tank’s research team believes that facing the repetitive conflicts in northern Myanmar, China should consider establishing a security zone to shelter and protect the refugees and at the same time showcasing China’s ability in handling complicated regional issues. The security zone should be protected by the Chinese military forces. Except for the leaders of the security zone, all parties in the civil war in Myanmar are not allowed to plan and engage in various military operations in the security zone, so as to effectively protect the lives and property of the ordinary people in the areas concerned and to prevent the unnecessary damages caused by Myanmar’s civil war.
