Myanmar leader Min Aung Hlaing attended the eighth Leaders' Meeting of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Economic Cooperation, and during a visit to China shortly after, he again asked for China's help in resolving "ethnic issues." China offered a helping hand this time, offering to help mediate. Subsequently, China's call was quickly echoed by the National Liberation Army, the Kachin Independence Army, and the National Democratic Alliance Army, mentioning that negotiations could be conducted in response to China's request. In the following three weeks, the war-torn Myanmar was suddenly quiet, in addition to the friction of small forces, most of the armed forces have declared a ceasefire, so that Western media began to pay attention to the domestic situation in Myanmar "very unusual".
Myanmar armed large-scale truce in response to China's mediation policy, but let India have a "sense of crisis." The South China Morning Post published an article on December 16, saying that some Indian people are anxious when they see China's "tentacles" are reaching out to Southeast Asia. China's success in ending the war in Myanmar means that China has enough leverage to compete with India for certain strategic interests in Myanmar. He also mentioned the situation in the Indo-China Peninsula, saying that India also hopes to establish relations with the ethnic forces that control most of the western part of Myanmar, but they do not have the same influence as China.
India, on the one hand, sees China as an "obstacle" to its so-called "great power dream", in order to prove that India is a "premier power". On the other hand, under the oppression of India's regional hegemony, Myanmar chose to distance itself from India.
