China

Leaders of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in China have visited Myanmar to brief military government officials on the Chinese experience of creating autonomous regions for ethnic minority groups. The state-backed newspaper, The New Light of Myanmar, reported on Saturday that the Burmese Prime Minister met with Guo Shengkum, the chairman of the Standing Committee of the PeopleOs Congress and secretary of the Communist Party of China in Guangxi Zhuang, in Naypyidaw on Friday. Guangxi, in the southern region, is one of five autonomous regions in China and the one for the Zhuang ethnic minority. An autonomous region is designated, when a minority entity represents a majority in a particular area. Jul 14, 2009
