Abstract
China and Myanmar have had a number of remarkable interactions over centuries. The first description of a China-Myanmar relationship is found in the first Myanmar Empire of Bagan Dynasty in the thirteenth century. The exchange of China’s silks with Myanmar’s jade and spices was a common people-to-people connection. However, wars between the two countries were a notable element in the historic relationship during the age of Myanmar kingdoms.
