The Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) will reportedly retreat from the northern Shan State capital, Lashio, this month under Chinese pressure.

据报道，在中国的压力下，缅甸民族民主联盟军（MNDAA）本月将从掸邦北部首府腊戍撤退。

The decision purportedly came after Beijing said it would again close all borders to MNDAA-held areas and the junta threatened airstrikes, a Lashio resident close to the MNDAA administration told The Irrawaddy on Friday.

周五，一名接近孟民盟政府的腊戍居民告诉《伊洛瓦底报》，据称这一决定是在北京表示将再次关闭孟民盟控制地区的所有边境，军政府威胁要进行空袭之后做出的。

Beijing has upped pressure since Chinese-brokered talks about Lashio between the armed group and regime failed last month.

自上月由中国斡旋的缅甸武装组织与政府军之间关于腊戍的谈判失败以来，北京方面加大了压力。

Sources estimate the MNDAA will retreat from 12 Lashio wards but retain villages surrounding the city.

消息人士估计，缅甸民族解放运动将从腊戍的12个区撤退，但保留城市周围的村庄。

“The MNDAA is facing a lot of Chinese pressure as its bank accounts and many family members are in China. A border blockage could make a huge impact on our side,” the Lashio source said.

“MNDAA面临着来自中国的巨大压力，因为它的银行账户和许多家庭成员都在中国。边境封锁可能对我方产生巨大影响。”

The source said the MNDAA had allowed regime immigration, customs, health and education departments to return to the city while the armed group’s military chief, police department and public relations offices remained in Lashio.

消息人士称，MNDAA允许政权移民、海关、卫生和教育部门返回该市，而武装组织的军事首领、警察部门和公共关系办公室留在腊戍。

“Retreating would harm the people. Residents suffered during the seizure of the city and they don’t want the MNDAA to retreat. Other revolutionary groups lost fighters taking the city. The MNDAA shouldn’t retreat. It would all have been a waste,” said the Lashio source.

“撤退会伤害人民。居民们在占领城市期间遭受了痛苦，他们不希望MNDAA撤退。其他革命组织在夺取这座城市时失去了战士。MNDAA不应该退却。这一切都将是浪费。”

Several resistance groups, including People’s Defense Forces loyal to the civilian National Unity Government, helped seize Lashio in early August last year after a month of fighting.

去年8月初，几个抵抗组织，包括忠于平民民族团结政府的人民国防军，在经过一个月的战斗后帮助占领了腊戍。

The regime repeatedly bombed the city, causing civilian casualties and destroying many civilian buildings. Beijing, meanwhile, pressured the MNDDA to retreat from Lashio.

该政权多次轰炸该市，造成平民伤亡，并摧毁了许多民用建筑。与此同时，北京方面向民盟施压，要求其撤出腊戍。

The source said other resistance allies would be angered by any MNDAA retreat.

消息人士称，其他抵抗组织盟友将对MNDAA的任何撤退感到愤怒。

“Other resistance groups may take unpredictable action. People need to be prepared for everything,” the source warned.

“其他抵抗组织可能会采取不可预测的行动。人们需要为一切做好准备，”消息人士警告说。

A military analyst close to the MNDAA told The Irrawaddy that Beijing was not interested in more peace talks and told the armed group to withdraw from Lashio by April 22.

一位接近缅甸民族解放运动的军事分析家告诉伊洛瓦底，北京对更多的和平谈判不感兴趣，并告诉武装组织在4月22日之前从腊戍撤军。

The analyst said the situation in northern Shan State would become complicated again after the MNDAA’s retreat.

这位分析人士说，掸邦北部的局势在民盟撤退后将再次变得复杂。

The MNDAA is a member of the Brotherhood Alliance that launched the successful anti-regime Operation 1027 across northern Shan State in October 2023 alongside several resistance groups.

MNDAA是兄弟会联盟的成员，该联盟于2023年10月与几个抵抗组织一起在掸邦北部成功发起了反政府的1027行动。

The Brotherhood Alliance seized most of northern Shan State, Lashio and important trade routes with China.

兄弟会联盟占领了掸邦北部的大部分地区、腊戍和与中国的重要贸易路线。

Fellow alliance member, the Ta’ang National Liberation Army, has been fighting the regime at Taunghkam in Nawnghkio Township for months.

同为联盟成员的塔昂民族解放军（taang National Liberation Army）几个月来一直在Nawnghkio镇的Taunghkam与军政府作战。

The third member, the Arakan Army, has seized 14 out of 17 Rakhine State townships and Paletwa Township in neighboring Chin State in western Myanmar, where China has less direct influence.

第三个成员是若开军（Arakan Army），它已经占领了若开邦17个乡镇中的14个，以及位于缅甸西部毗邻的钦邦的帕列特瓦镇（paltwa Township），中国在钦邦的直接影响力较小。
