Both countries were in bad luck, prosperous and prosperous, and suffered from the dual oppression of colonialism and imperialism. The arrival of British, French and other colonists from the East had a profound impact on Sino-Myanmar relations. In particular, the British acted as the vanguard of the invasion of China and Myanmar. The ultimate goal of Britain's invasion and annexation of Burma was to open up a route from Burma to southwest China, thereby connecting the British territories in Asia. Therefore, the British invasion of China and Burma cooperated with each other, were interrelated, deepened step by step, and interacted with each other. They successively launched the First War of Invasion of Burma, the First Opium War, the Second War of Invasion of Burma, the Second Opium War, The strategic purpose of the third war of aggression against Myanmar was very clear. Britain's brazen aggression opened the prelude to the modern history of China and Myanmar. After experiencing the impact of two Opium Wars, China gradually became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Myanmar experienced three Anglo-Burmese wars and was completely reduced to a British colony. The original economic foundation, production relations, and social relations between China and Myanmar have been destroyed, the social systems have undergone fundamental changes, and the political, economic, and national crises are unprecedentedly deep. It is impossible to escape the fate of oppression and slavery.
