History of Chinese immigrants in Myanmar

Myanmar is a federal republic in Southeast Asia. Like Laos and Cambodia, Myanmar is one of the least developed countries in the world. There are as many poor people here as the agricultural population in this country, accounting for more than 60%. But Myanmar also has a bright side. The climate here is warm and rich in beautiful women, and the vast majority of rural areas in Myanmar still retain a simple face.

Myanmar is an agricultural country with a weak industrial base, but many gold and jade mines have been mined, so Lv You has always said that Myanmar is a low-key country guarding gold mines and eating porridge. Life in Myanmar is very slow. For tourists, it is essential to come to Myanmar for a sumptuous seafood meal in winter. The local price level is low, so there will be no cheating. This is the beautiful side that Myanmar tourism brings to tourists.

After enjoying a seafood dinner and renting a battery car or motorcycle, you can quickly integrate into the life of Burmese people. Perhaps many people don't know that Myanmar was once the richest country in Asia. Everyone knows that Japan's economy is developed, but you may not know that in the mid-1940s, Myanmar's GDP was twice that of Japan, and its per capita GDP was even higher than that of the United States. The conditions for creating wealth in Myanmar can be roughly divided into two items, minerals and foreign trade.

But the short-lived wealth was finally destroyed by British aggression. In Myanmar, locals rarely mention North Myanmar. Although the name has the word "Myanmar", Burmese people are more afraid of this place. They don't want to talk about it because they are afraid. Historically, North Myanmar was the main gathering place for immigrants from China and Yunnan. The influx of a large number of immigrants has made North Myanmar quickly become one of the largest Chinese settlements in the world. According to conservative statistics, this figure has reached 1 10,000. So how did this area become a "crime paradise"?

As we know, the border between China and Myanmar has existed since ancient times. There are four cities in northern Myanmar bordering Yunnan Province, namely Wa, Kokang, Muse and Xiaomengla. They are connected to form a 2000-kilometer-long China-Myanmar border, which makes smuggling incidents flood in this area.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Myanmar, China has been committed to supporting Myanmar's infrastructure construction. Among them, China's three major telecom operators, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, have also taken root in Myanmar, and even online payment platforms headed by WeChat and Alipay have emerged. Most importantly, Chinese characters have also become the official language of North Myanmar. Behind the nationalization of China and Myanmar, it is more or less easy to make North Myanmar a crime paradise.

But none of the above is the most important. If the government of North Myanmar had not turned a blind eye, North Myanmar would not have become such a field. It should be said that the interest chain between the North Myanmar government and fraud gangs has always existed, and they are also good at providing armed forces to cover fraud gangs to avoid being pursued. Therefore, North Myanmar has become a fertile ground for the survival of criminal gangs. There are/kloc-0,000,000 China people living here, but more than 80% of them are engaged in fraud-related industries, so when it comes to North in Myanmar, locals are reluctant to mention it too much.
