Myanmar's new government was formed and the transfer of power was completed in March 2011.Immediately after its formation, the new government began to implement political reform. The opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and many other political prisoners were released, the restrictions on her were relaxed, the restriction on foreign media were lifted, and censorship on the media was relaxed and eventually canceled. Party registration law was modified and NLD was finally allowed to register to compete in the by-election. The political reform in Myanmar is not only necessaryfor Myanmar's own derelopment, but also the natural result of the international and regional changes. In the context of political reform, Myanmar began to adjust its foreign policy and moved closer to US and Western countries feek. China's importance in geopolitics, energy and border security to Myanmar has not any substantive changes. At the same time, China has its own significant economic interests in Myanmar and China will not give up Myanmar easily. China and Myanmar's mutual strategic needs will exist for a long time.
