The Sino-Burmese Border Negotiations and the Intervention and Failure of the United States(1950-1961)——A Historical Study Based on the Archives of China,Myanmar,the United States and Britain
In the early 1950s,China had adopted a policy of"temporarily maintaining the status quo"towards the border between China and Myanmar.Therefore,the United States took the initiative to provide military assistance to Myanmar and secretly supported the army of Kuomintang in northern Myanmar,aiming to strengthen US-Myanmar relations while containing China.However,with the fermentation of the army of Kuomintang in northern Myanmar issue in 1953 and the rapid development of China-Myanmar relations in 1954,the United States decided to suspend aid to the army of Kuomintang in northern Myanmar and intervene in the Sino-Burmese border issue.After The Nation incident in 1956,the United States once again used the uncertain situation of the Sino-Burmese border to vigorously promote the theory of"China's expansion".To refute the defamation and propaganda of the United States,China and Myanmar quickly engaged in border negotiations and reached a series of consensus.Afterwards,China and Myanmar jointly carried out boundary demarcation work and successfully defeated the remnants of the army of Kuomintang in northern Myanmar.In fact,the failure of the United States intervention in the Sino-Burmese border issue was not only due to the reduction of US intervention chips in the army of Kuomintang in northern Myanmar issue,but also an important result of China's proactive progress in border negotiations and Myanmar's practice of neutral diplomacy.The resolution of the Sino-Burmese border issue not only promoted the development of China-Myanmar relations,but also correspondingly weakened the influence of the United States in Myanmar.
