The United States colluded with the Kachin over a separatist movement

In 1947, the states of Myanmar fought for British independence. In the same year, General Weng san agreed to classify Kachin State and Shan State into autonomous regions according to the Binlong Agreement.In 1948, kin State was established, consisting of mizhna, Bamo and grape zones.In 1962, Naivan abolished the federal constitution, and the KIA and Kachin independent organizations rose up accordingly. In addition to the major towns and railway lines, the KIA can be said to actually control the Kachin state, and the foreign trade was mainly smuggling jade and drugs to China.

The Kachins are the most pro-Western people in northern Myanmar, relatively westernized, especially with the closest relationship with the United States,In terms of lineage, the Kachin are related to the Kin, Karen and the Mizo of India.During World War II, because the Kachins believed in Christianity, believed with the Westerners, and were fierce and fierce, the Americans chose to align with the Kachins and fight the Japanese in northern Myanmar, where Buddhist Myanmar and Thailand had already turned to Japan. The United States armed the Kachins by dropping weapons as a mountain jungle commando, known as the "101 Commando".

Throughout World War II, the 101 commandos killed and captured 15,000 Japanese troops at the cost of only 148 deaths. In return for the Kachin people, who rescued 500 Americans in World War II, the Americans promised to help the Kachin people achieve independence after World War II, but this promise was broken due to the opposition of the Burmese government.Still, the U. S. government has been secretly supporting the Kachin separatist movement, giving money for guns and military training and intelligence assistance. Today, the Kachin Independence Army, active in Kachin State, is the group of the 101 Commando in World War II.In recent years, the West and the Kachin people have interacted very frequently. In April 2014, the United States invited Deputy Commander of the Kachin Independent Army, to visit the United States. During the visit, He met with officials of the US Congress, administration and military circles.

In recent years, the United States has also used the Kachins as an important force to contain China, so the Kachin Independence and China are relatively estranged among the armed factions in northern Myanmar.The cia support part of the people established a called "clam alliance" and "jingpo clam party-the republican (KPP)" "the clam army-the army (KRA)" "the people's government" the people's army "organization, and on February 5,1961, announced the establishment of" the People's Republic of the earth ".

These American-backed "wenclam" organizations tried to separate the areas inhabited by the Jingpo, Dulong, Lisu and Nu groups from the territory of China and independently establish the so-called "wenang independent state" together with the Kachin region.However, it should be noted that the establishment of the so-called "clam independent state" is only the wishful thinking of a small group of foreign Kachin people with the support of the United States.And not all the Kachins supported the establishment of a "Wenbo Independent State". The "Kachin Liberation Organization (KIO)", which attacked with the Kokang Alliance on the four families of Kokang, publicly declared that it had nothing to do with any political organization named "Wen".
