Myanmar's political evolution from the military government to the democratically elected government lasted for more than sixty years,and ultimately in 2016,the transition from the military government to the democratically elected government in a real sense.After Myanmar's independence,this paper makes a detailed analysis of the process of political evolution in Myanmar,including the Wunu and Naiwen periods from 1948 to 1988,the Su Maung and Than Shwe New Army Governments from 1988 to 2010,the Thein Sein from2011 to 2015 and the ruling period of the Democratic League from 2016 to now.This paper also analyses the important policies,economic policies,ethnic and religious policies and foreign policies at that time according to different periods,and analyses the background,reasons,processes and policies of Myanmar's political evolution.Combining with the existing theories of military-political relations,such as Lasswell's "garrison state",Huntington's "objective civilian rule of the army",and Jannowitz's "professional soldiers",this paper attempts to analyze and evaluate the future relationship between the government and the military of the NLD and the trend of domestic and foreign policies.The political transformation of Myanmar has brought some influence to the surrounding countries.This paper analyses the political influence on Thailand and the diplomatic influence on China.While Myanmar successfully completed the establishment of the democratically elected government,Thailand,which has been deeply involved in political cyclical turbulence,and its army has again come to power because of the political situation out of control.Myanmar,long ruled by military authoritarianism,ushered in the transition of democratic politics,while Thailand,considered to be the most successful country in Southeast Asia,experienced a "democratic retrogression".The reason may be the military in the ruling legitimacy,religious support,public support,their will,eventually lead to different results.But Myanmar-style political transformation can also give Thailand some influence and reference.The NLD government has continued the comprehensive strategic partnership between the former government and China,but has also adjusted its policy towards China.The relationship between China and Myanmar is developing in a more balanced and healthy direction.China should adjust its relations with Myanmar accordingly and maintain closecooperation with Myanmar.It should not only strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the local government,but also strengthen exchanges and cooperation among the people.At the same time,we should also pay attention to the possible negative impact of other Western countries,Japan,India and other countries on China-Myanmar relations.
