The Development History of the First Special Zone in Kachin State, Myanmar

There are mainly Lang nationality (a branch of Jingpo nationality in Myanmar), Chashan nationality (a branch of Jingpo nationality in Myanmar), Li nationality, Han nationality and Myanmar nationality. With a population of about 7000-65438+ million and an area of about 20000 square kilometers, the land is vast and sparsely populated. The chairman is Zekon Din Ying, the army is called Kachin New People's Army (also known locally as People's Army), the commander is Zekon Din Ying (Major General), and the deputy commander is Russian Army (Colonel), with about 3,000 soldiers and about 1500 combat troops, equipped with some mountain mortars, anti-aircraft machine guns, shoulder-mounted rockets and mines. Soldiers' weapons include AK-47 automatic rifles, 8 1- automatic rifles, French-made automatic rifles (previously captured against Burmese government forces), and semi-automatic rifles made in China (now in storage, only for recruits' shooting training). Its arsenal has the ability to equip 3,000-5,000 troops in a short time, and its weapons and equipment far exceed that of the Kachin Independence Army. The flag is the sun in the middle, with two knives standing beside it, which symbolizes the new force of Jingpo nationality. On the surface, it is also the number 10 1. Most local ethnic groups believe in Christianity, Catholicism and Buddhism. Their income mainly comes from agricultural cultivation. The income in the main border areas is business or wages. The First Special Zone of Kachin State in Myanmar has always been a inhabited area of ethnic minorities, and Enmei Kaijiang is the birthplace of Jingpo people. During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties in China, this place was the territory of China. Myanmar's national government became independent after World War II. Due to its improper management ability, it has aroused the dissatisfaction of Kachin (Jingpo), Wa, Shan and other ethnic minorities, and several anti-government armed forces have emerged in Myanmar. At that time, Langzu and Chashan belonged to the Kachin Independence Army. Later, due to various problems, they left the Kachin Independence Army in 1969, joined the Myanmar Production Party, and established the1kloc-0/military region, with Kong Dingying as the commander and Zelong as the deputy commander. In the subsequent battle with the Burmese government forces, due to the people's unity and heroic fighting, as well as a large number of weapons, ammunition, food and other free assistance from China, it became a force that could endure hardships and fight. At that time, the 10 1 Military Region, under the command of the Myanmar Production Party, often sent personnel to study in Kunming, China and Peking. In Tengchong, there are barracks and training camps in the 10 1 military region, and their military uniforms are those that were common in China 84 years ago. The soldiers and civilians of both sides enter and leave the border like a family. 1989, Myanmar government forces fought with1kloc-0/military region for the last time in Gambari. The Burmese army invested more than 500 people, and 10 1 military region invested 200-300 people. The Burmese army tried to win the area in one fell swoop, and the two sides fought hard for more than a month. At the most dangerous time, the 10 1 military region blew up many heavy weapons that were difficult to transport, and mines were also laid around Gambai. However, one night, a brave Langzu officer crossed the minefield and blew up the Burmese ammunition depot. Finally, the Burmese army had to return to Myitkyina. In this campaign, the Burmese army killed or injured more than 400 people, 10 1 military area command killed 15 people, and dozens of people were injured. This is the most detailed past battle I can know, which embodies the characteristics that the 10 1 military region was good at guerrilla warfare in Changshan at that time. In the early 1990s, Myanmar's * * * production party disintegrated, and the1kloc-0/military region took the lead in reaching a peace agreement with the Myanmar government forces. The Myanmar government agreed to establish the first special zone in Myanmar, Kachin State, abbreviated as NDAK in English. With autonomy, the former army was renamed the Kachin New People's Army, with Kong Dingying as the commander and Zelong as the deputy commander. The management of the army follows the management style of China army in the period of Burma's * * * production party, with loose outside and tight inside. On the surface, the army seems to have no fighting capacity, but the military-civilian relationship is harmonious and the regional public security situation is generally good. At the beginning of the establishment of the Special Zone, in order to solve the financial problem, China people were allowed to enter this area and carry out a large number of logging. Throughout the 1990s, the timber industry not only promoted the economy of this region, but also promoted the economic development of many counties and cities bordering China. A large number of high-quality timber entered the mainland of China and even exported to Europe and America. In the late 1990s, a large number of mineral deposits were discovered in the First Special Zone of Kachin State, Myanmar, with large reserves, high grade and many varieties, among which molybdenum, iron, lead, zinc and gold are the most common. The minerals discovered at present may only account for a small part of the undiscovered minerals.
