The construction activities carried out by the Communist Party of Myanmar in Shan State and Kachin State have not attracted much attention in Myanmar, which has been swept by the rolling wave of democracy. Like the Red Party in many Southeast Asian countries, the Communist Party of Myanmar has been demonized and basically It is synonymous with evil. In other words, the Burmese Communist Party itself has its own ways of killing people. Not to mention the left-leaning movement, drug trafficking alone is worth killing a thousand times.
Now the Burmese Communist Party has naturally embarked on a completely different path. In order to expand its influence before the real big event, under the instruction of Qi Yiming, a large number of leaflets about the Burmese Communist Party were secretly carried to various parts of Myanmar, especially Such as Bago, Myitkyina, Moji, Shidui, Mandalay and other big cities.
The trigger for the big movement in normal Myanmar came from an absurd currency reform implemented by the authorities. Ne Win believes that "9" is a very auspicious number. Myanmar's current economic situation is not good because the face value of banknotes is not set well. If banknotes are positioned as numbers divisible by 9, such as UU and 45, then there will definitely be Bring hope to Myanmar¡¯s economy.
Not to mention that such a ridiculous currency reform will bring great inconvenience to people's daily use of currency, but that during the reform, the authorities and regimes are consistent across the board, that is, using 3 yuan to exchange people's 100 yuan, and using 45 yuan to exchange people's 6 yuan. , which is tantamount to naked plundering of people¡¯s savings. In particular, some students who are currently in school are extremely angry because they may not be able to afford tuition due to such a currency reform.
In the spring of this year, in order to protest against the government's absurd currency reform, students went on strike and vandalized school property. The government troops directly sent troops to suppress it and even temporarily closed some universities. In the middle of the month, some students broke out in a tea house. In order to rescue these students, other students ran to the police station to protest, which resulted in an even greater tragedy. The police shot at students, causing three people to be shot and one person to die.
Three days later, more students came out to demand that the Myanmar military government stop its persecution of students. However, this provoked an even more violent response from the military government. Some students were caught by the police and pushed into the lake and drowned, some female students were raped by soldiers, and 41 people were even stuffed into a sealed truck and suffocated to death.
The bloody atrocities of the military government were met with greater resistance across the country, and the wave of resistance slowly changed from supporting students to demanding democracy. Faced with this huge civil pressure, Ne Win, the general who initiated currency reform, finally stepped down, and his crony Sheng Lun became the chairman of the ruling Socialist Platform Party, and later succeeded him as president.
Shen Lun's coming to power did not improve the situation. Instead, he rudely announced the implementation of military control across the country, arousing more dissatisfaction among the people.
It was at this time that the Chairman of the Communist Party of Myanmar, Dechenba, who had been silent, reached the summit and expressed the new political stance of the Communist Party of Myanmar through the invited AFP reporter.
"We have seen that the authoritarian and brutal military government is cutting itself off from the people and embarking on a road of no return. The people's demands are legitimate and must be listened to and taken seriously. What the military government has done is not responsible. What the government should do. Here, I personally would like to express the position of our entire party on behalf of the Communist Party of Myanmar. The Communist Party of Myanmar supports the people of all Myanmar in their struggle for democracy and freedom, and is willing to serve as a strong backing for all Myanmar people.
The Communist Party of Myanmar is a progressive and advanced political group rooted in the people. Although we have experienced setbacks and losses on the road of development, the new Communist Party of Myanmar has found the right direction of history and is willing to work with all Myanmar people to correct the chaos. Fight for a better tomorrow.
The current ruling party, the Platform Party, claims to be socialist, but it seems that it has actually deviated from the true meaning of socialism. To build socialism, we should learn from our neighbor China, carry out reform and opening up, and develop the economy so that the people can live a better life. At the same time, we firmly believe in the power of the people, implement the principle that the people are the masters of the country, and allow the people to truly enjoy political rights. China has set the best example for us on this road, and we can learn and imitate it. "
The AFP reporter naturally asked tit for tat: "So if the Communist Party of Myanmar has the opportunity to take power, will it also learn from China's one-party dictatorship?"
Badending laughed and said: "I think the national conditions of each country are different. There is generally one voice in Chinese society, while other forces are very weak and cannot represent the mainstream. Myanmar, on the other hand, has multiple ethnic groups and multiple religions, and even more They have different interest orientations, so our country should implement a multi-party system and communicate and compromise in an equal and harmonious political atmosphere. Only in this way can democracy and justice be achieved. Although the Communist Party of Myanmar is a red party, it does not mean that we must do it. Take an exclusive political line."
A reporter from AFP was very curious and said: "So the Communist Party of Myanmar, as a red party, believes that the legitimate way to obtain power should be elections rather than revolution, right?"
This question is very tricky and trap-like. If Ba Dengding answers yes, then the reporter¡¯s next question must be when will you lay down your arms and engage in political consultation and negotiation. But Ba Dengding knew what would happen in the future, and he was seriousreplied:
"Yes, we will win the support of the people and gain the power to govern in a non-violent way in a legally protected and fair and just environment. However, the current situation is obvious to all. If we give up our arms, the military government will They will immediately brutally persecute us. Even the unarmed people and students, let alone those of us with political dissent, will be killed. The policies of the Communist Party of Myanmar have always been flexible and pragmatic. We cannot. They would be stupid enough to throw away their life-saving weapons in front of hungry wolves. And if the Burmese Communist Party gives up resistance, what will happen to other ethnic minorities in Myanmar who demand autonomy, and what will happen to the people who demand broader civil rights?"
The AFP reporter asked again: "So, if the current government makes a guarantee not to attack you and makes a guarantee of regional autonomy, will you disarm?" This reporter turned over and over again with a strong purpose. , if Taoba reaches the top, the ultimate goal is to eliminate the Burmese Communist Party.
Badending replied: "I repeat my answer again. The current military government is not representative of the people at all, and our legal environment cannot ensure the implementation of federalism in Shan State, Kachin State and other regions. We We will not compromise on such a military government. Only a central government with broad popular representation and a federal constitution that can be maintained can we consider disarmament."
He was also very skillful in what he said. He just said that this kind of consideration can be considered, but whether the result of the consideration is to be lifted or not is another matter.
The biased AFP reporter felt that he could not dig out more on this issue, so he moved to another topic and said: "The long-term financial source of the Burmese Communist Party has been drug cultivation and drug trafficking, so it has also been used by many countries around the world. There is a reward on the wanted list. What is Mr. Chairman¡¯s explanation for this?¡±
Ba Dengding replied solemnly: "Comrade reporter, you probably did your own inspection on the way here. There is not an acre of land in the areas controlled by the Communist Party of Myanmar that is used to grow opium poppies. Before, our party discipline was lax, and some comrades Corrupted by money and interests, we have embarked on this shameful path. After our party's reforms, these erring comrades have been severely dealt with, and the poppy fields have been intensively razed. We will help local farmers change their crops. Food crops and cash crops replace drugs, and we also provide certain compensation to these farmers."
The AFP reporter did take a lot of photos when he came, but he didn't see a single poppy plant. Moreover, Badending said that it had been dealt with, so he couldn't get more information, so he stopped pestering him and asked again. There were some problems, but they were all dealt with by Ba Dengding, who was very cautious and tactful.
Although he did not achieve the effect he wanted and could not discredit the Burmese Communist Party, he felt satisfied with having so much inside information. Returning to the AFP branch in Yangon, this reporter wanted to add some personal information. After all, writing too well about a Red Party would be considered a policy mistake in the West. But his editor seriously asked him to present the most authentic information without adding any personal factors. If something went wrong, he would be fired. The reporter could only follow the editor's wishes, but they did not know that the editor was influenced by Qi Yiming's external connections and tried to report the most authentic Burmese Communist Party to avoid self-defeating.
As soon as this news came out, it was reprinted by the media in Myanmar and even in many other countries in the region. The fact that the Communist Party of Myanmar has changed its evil ways and returned to the right path is indeed very newsworthy, but what is more realistically valuable is that a political party with soldiers and territory , actually publicly expressed support for the AA movement in Myanmar at this time and for fair and universal elections to establish a new regime.
Some political observers are also waiting and watching. Although the Communist Party of Myanmar does not really have a good reputation, it does have certain strength after all. It is inevitable that some pragmatic movement participants will choose to join forces with the Communist Party of Myanmar and put pressure on the military government. , to get what they want.
After learning of the Communist Party of Myanmar¡¯s statement, the military government strongly condemned the Communist Party of Myanmar, a rebel organization that rebelled against the country and the government, and once again demanded that the Communist Party of Myanmar lay down its arms and surrender unconditionally.
Because the territory is only a small piece of Shan State and Kachin State, the Burmese Communist Party is not noticed by those Burmese students who are high-minded about national security. Even the very influential Aung San Suu Kyi is said to have no interest in the Burmese Communist Party. I don't like it, I think it is an organization that is dangerous to the country and cannot be trusted. Red forces like this should not be involved in the fight for democracy.
With a warm face and a cold butt, Qi Yiming was not surprised when the capital found out. He just looked down silently like a god, waiting for everything to change.
