Chang's comment came during a meeting with Soe Win, deputy commander-in-chief of Myanmar's defence services and commander-in-chief of the army, in Beijing.
During the meeting, Chang also called on both sides to ensure a right direction for military-to-military relations, maintain tranquillity on the border and advance the comprehensive strategic partnership.
