News about the Communist Party of China’s recent construction of a high wall along the China-Myanmar border to prevent Chinese people from fleeing the country has been making the rounds on the Internet. on December 23, a netizen said that Chinese people in Myanmar were blocked from returning to their country by the wall and could only wander around the border because the border crossing was closed in Pu’er, Yunnan province. another video showed that Chinese people at the China-Myanmar border could not return to their country and could only sleep in a layer of plastic sheeting in the wild near the border, and a quilt costs 1,000 yuan.
On the 23rd, a netizen tweeted that the Mangsin Port in Pu’er City, Yunnan Province was closed, and many Chinese could not return to China from Wa State, Myanmar, and had to wait and wander at the border.
Through the video posted by the netizen, it can be seen that a large number of people are walking around the border with large bags on their backs, while there is a monitoring point with a long line near the Wa border crossing, but no one is passing through the border crossing.

The First Special Region (Kokang Nation) in northern Shan State, Myanmar, tweeted on its Twitter account on December 12 that “The first phase of the Myanmar-China border partition, code-named ‘The Great Southern Wall’, was fully completed by the Chinese government to prevent its citizens from smuggling themselves out of Myanmar. It is 660 kilometers in length and is made up of barbed wire. The second phase of the project will be completed by the end of next year, when more than 2,000 kilometers of the Myanmar-China border will be completely cut off. The third phase will be completed by October 2022, when high-voltage power grids will be installed along key smuggling routes, and skynet video recording systems and infrared alarms will be installed in all places.”
Communist authorities have told local residents that the wall is being built to prevent the inflow of epidemics from abroad. However, some believe that the CCP’s aim is to prevent Chinese people from fleeing.
Radio Free Asia’s academic commander, who is concerned about Sino-Myanmar relations, said that China did not build the wall overnight, but only through very careful planning. In the past, the Sino-Vietnamese and Sino-Myanmar borders were easy to cross. But now the Chinese Communist government does not want this and the purpose of building this wall is to prevent the Chinese people from fleeing.
In addition to Burma, a wall as high as 2 meters has been built along the Sino-Vietnamese border to prevent Chinese people from going to Vietnam to work. Recently, Vietnam’s two border guards arrested more than 100 Guangxi nationals for smuggling. After preliminary interrogation, the arrested originally worked in Guangdong, but since the beginning of last year, due to the withdrawal of a large number of foreign trade enterprises, resulting in the unemployment of workers, when they learned that the withdrawal of enterprises have moved to Vietnam, intended to work in Da Nang.
