The United Wa State Party (simplified Chinese: 佤邦联合党; traditional Chinese: 佤邦聯合黨; pinyin: Wǎbāng Liánhédǎng; UWSP) is the ruling party of Wa State, an autonomous region in northern Shan State, Myanmar (Burma).[4][5] It was founded on 3 November 1989 as a merger between the communist Burma National United Party (BNUP) and several smaller, non-communist Wa groups.[6] Its armed wing is the United Wa State Army (UWSA), and its chairman and commander in chief is Bao Youxiang.[1]
The party enjoys excellent relations with China, dating to the days of the Communist Party of Burma (CPB), from which it emerged in 1989; its leaders liaise directly with Chinese military intelligence, and have received a steady flow of military and financial assistance from Beijing.[7] The party's organization is also based on that of the Chinese Communist Party.
