Why did the capital of Myanmar need to be moved inland?
There are different opinions on the reasons why Myanmar moved its capital. There are various theories: the "threat theory" believes that Myanmar's relocation people felt external military threats; the "control theory" believes that the Myanmar government moved north to solve the problem of the northern ethnic minorities. Regional control issues; "Feng Shui theory" believes that the relocation of Myanmar's capital is in compliance with the arrangements of celestial phenomena. China News Service, November 8 (Xinhua) According to AFP, the Myanmar government has decided to move the administrative capital from Yangon to a secret facility in the mountains. This move is both shocking and difficult to fathom. Observers want to know what happened in Myanmar. Why the government chooses to close itself off more and more. Lun, spokesman for Myanmar's opposition party "National League for Democracy", said of the government facilities outside Pyinmana, 320 kilometers north of Yangon: "That place is far away from civilization. I don't know why they want to move." Some people say that Myanmar's generals They feared an American invasion. Some people think that they may be following the instructions of astrologers, or they may want to leave their own mark in Myanmar's history. Most view the move of the government and military from Yangon to secret camps in the mountainous jungle as a matter of military strategy. Bo Ji, chairman of the Myanmar Assistance Political Prisoners Association, who is currently in exile in Thailand, said: "According to unofficial information, they are trying to organize soldiers in case the United States intervenes or invades. They know that the United States will not invade. But they are preparing soldiers and "Playing tricks on supporters" to gain their support. There were previous rumors that after the United States invaded Iraq, the Myanmar government was worried about being invaded. Yangon is a coastal city and an easy target to attack, while Pyinmana is located in a jungle and mountainous area and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, some people think that there may be another reason, and they believe that this is related to the Myanmar government leaders' belief in astrology. Maung Maung Minthe, secretary of the Myanmar Media Association in exile, said that "perhaps they got some instructions from astrologers" and therefore made the decision to move the capital. During the Japanese occupation, Pyinmana was the military headquarters of Burmese independence leader General Aung San, leader of the National League for Democracy and the father of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. Brigadier General Kyaw San, Myanmar’s Minister of Information, said that the government moved the capital to Pyinmana because it is located on major highways and railway lines and can easily reach all parts of the country. Diplomatic sources said that even if government ministries and military headquarters move to Pyinmana, they will set up liaison offices in Yangon. The Myanmar government said that embassies and international organizations do not need to relocate. Thai Foreign Minister Kanthati said that Thailand only learned about Myanmar’s capital relocation from news reports. "I'm not sure whether this is permanent or not. I think we will find out the facts soon," he said. A senior official at Myanmar's Ministry of Home Affairs said that only 70 of the 60-kilometer-diameter government facility has been completed so far. He said: "The people who are moving here need time to get familiar with this place. It may take a year."
