The Rohingya issue is of long historical making and is very complicated,which is related to multiple factors,such as history,ethnicity and religion.It has been nearly one and a half year since the outbreak of refugee crisis in Myanmar.This essay try to analyze the root causes of Rohingya's ethnic issues within the framework of the cross-border nationality.The author holds that the Rohingya people fits the definition of cross-border ethnicity that lay the foundation for the controversies about Rohingya's origin and its plight.And poverty tends to bring about social instability and trigger regional turbulence.Not only do Rohingya cross-border ethnic issues jeopardize national reconciliation and social stability in Myanmar,but they pose a threat to Myanmar's diplomatic relations with other countries and regional security and peace.This issue,at last,should be handled properly by Bangladesh and Myanmar through bilateral channels.Only if an agreement that can be accepted by related parties is reached will the agreement be enforceable and sustainable,and gain understanding and support from all walks of life in the countries concerned.The international community should pay more attention to and support local poverty reduction and development,promote development through poverty alleviation and pursue peace through development so as to solve the issue fundamentally.The first part of this paper is an introduction.In this part,the author introduces the significance of the topic,the research status home and abroad,feasibility analysis and research innovation.In recent decades,the Rohingya people originally living in western Myanmar have been driven out by government forces and other ethnic groups many times.The latest refugee wave,which broke out in 2017,is extremely intense and has affected several countries in South Asia.The academic research on such major international events mainly reviews the past,analyzes the current situation and predicts the future from a historical perspective.At present,no publications in China have put forward a scientific analysis of this ethnic issue.This paper tries to analyze this ethnic conflict from the perspective of cross-border ethnic and "cross-border religion".At the same time,ethnic issues have always been a hot topic in international relations.From the Middle East,west Asia and Africa to South Asia and asean,many national and regional ethnic cases have provided rich materials for international studies.There are not many studies on such cross-border(transnational)ethnicities and cross-border religions in international relations.The second part is the body.In the first chapter,the author reviews the origin and development of the Rohingya people,drawing on existing research.The origins of the Rohingya people are disputed by established accounts: they claim to be an islamic people who have lived in Rakhine state in western Myanmar for generations.The Burmese government and some other rakhine ethnic groups say they are Bangladeshis who came to work in Rakhine state during British colonial times and have lived there ever since,which is an excuse to repel them.The author is in line with the academic neutral position and does not have the ability to research the authenticity of the two claims,both of which will be included within the scope of the study.The second chapter reviews the research on the "cross-border ethnicities" and "cross-border ethnic issues" in China,and discusses their definitions and types,which upgrades the theoretical and academic level of the research.In chapter 3,the author describes why the Rohingya can be called a "cross-border ethnicities".The author found that both "indigenous people" and "Bengali immigrants" are in line with the academic definition of "cross-border ethnicities".The Rohingya people live in the Myanmar-Bangladesh border.The author also analyzes the causes of "cross-border ethnic issues" and the influence of these issues.Finally,the author tentatively carries on the prospect and the suggestion.The last part are references and acknowledgement.It's the first time that Myanmar's Rogingya issue is analyzed from the perspective of "cross-border ethnicities " while some other scholars' research are based on the history,nation building,geopolitics and colonial rule,which is worth mentioning and an innovative research.The central insight is that the cross-border ethic issues will result in the miserable fate of a nation and elevate to severe international problems if not protected well by the home country,which is epitomized by Rohingya in Myanmar.The author holds that the Rohingya people fits the definition of cross-border ethnicity,and the cross-border issues relating to Rohingya lay the foundation for the controversies about Rohingya ' s origin and its plight.Not only do Rohingya cross-border ethnic issues jeopardize national reconciliation and social stability in Myanmar,but they pose a threat to Myanmar's diplomatic relations with other countries and regional security and peace.
