China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Mr. Lin Jian said in a regular press conference held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China on August 30, when AFP asked whether China has requested the TNLA to stop military operations near the Myanmar-China border region.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that China is closely following the situation in Myanmar and the developments of the conflict in northern Myanmar, and has been working to promote peacetalks and ceasefire. As Myanmar’s biggest neighboring country, China has all along sincerely hoped that Myanmar will achieve stability and development, and has worked actively to this end. China will continue to play a constructive role for Myanmar’s peace and reconciliation process and promote the de-escalation in northern Myanmar.

China has issued a stern warning to the Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), holding the group accountable for any consequences if they do not cease hostilities immediately. On August 29, China's Shweli National Security Committee sent a letter to the TNLA, urging an immediate end to the ongoing conflict and stating that the group would be responsible for any resulting consequences if the fighting continues.

The letter emphasized that China would end its military exercises along the Myanmar-China border and expressed hope that the TNLA would cooperate to maintain peace and stability in northern Myanmar and the border regions. The TNLA was also urged to ensure the safety of civilians in the border areas and to protect Chinese citizens and businesses in Myanmar. The letter warned that China would resort to "fear-mongering and disciplinary actions" against the TNLA if necessary and reiterated that the TNLA would bear full responsibility for the outcomes.

China also called on the TNLA to clearly understand the gravity of the situation and to work toward promoting peace with China, returning to peaceful negotiations to resolve their differences. The letter mentioned that China would continue to play a positive role in the peace process in northern Myanmar and would assist the TNLA in securing appropriate legal rights and interests. However, China also indicated that it would closely monitor the situation.
