Myīnt Khāīng (File:Rajian M.pngFile:Rajian YI.pngFile:Rajian N.pngFile:Rajian T.png File:Rajian K.pngFile:Rajian HA.pngFile:Rajian NI.pngFile:Rajian G.png; 17th April 1890 - 22nd June 1968) was a Karenni Rajian communist revolutionary who was the leader and founder of East Rajia from 1945 to his death in 1968. He was also the founder of the Communist Party of Rajia and its predecessor People's Revolutionary League of Rajia as well as key advocate of Rajian independence, socialism, and anti-monarchism. Myint was born in the city of Loikaw in 1890, before moving to the dock town of Mawlamyaing in 1907. Forming the People's Revolutionary League of Rajia in 1909, Myint agitated for Rajian independence to the point where in 1911 the PRLR led a dock strike which was crushed by the colonial government. Myint alongside his colleagues Ba Kywe and Thakin Sao fled to London in the United Kingdom where they worked as menial labourers whilst being involved in the British labour movement, joining the Labour Party in 1916. Originally a moderate democratic socialist with strong anti-imperialist views he lurched sharply to the left after perceiving the Labour Party to be too weak in regards to British imperialism, joining the Communist Party of Britain in 1923. Co-currently the PRLR was renamed the Communist Party of Rajia and became a part of Comintern, with Myint leaving Britain for Hong Kong and then Kunming in China where the Communist Party (supported by the Comintern) started to led a people's war in Rajia, mobilising Rajian peasants in preparation for a communist revolution. Following the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War the Workers' Party initiated the Rajian Revolution which spilled into the Rajia Campaign. In 1945 the Communist Party had mobilised peasant resistance to the point that the U Zaw Nyo regime collapsed, with the Worker's Party taking Rangoon and declaring a Socialist Union, starting the Rajian Civil War. In 1946 communist forces were driven out of Rangoon, and two years later in 1948 the Rangoon Ceasefire was drafted which saw Rajia partitioned into two states - the royalist Federal Kingdom (West Rajia) and the communist Socialist Union (East Rajia) with Myint being named as the President of the State Presidium, the head of state of East Rajia. From 1948-54 Myint ruled alongside Ba Kywe, before purging the latter in 1954. Under his rule East Rajia saw land reform in the form of collectivisation, the creation of a command economy, and economic industrialisation and modernisation. East Rajia became a one party socialist state with power centralised in the hands of the Communist Party, which led a Red Terror in the early days of its rule. Myint supported various communist rebellions across Southeast Asia, with East Rajian forces supporting the Viet Cong, Pathet Lao and Khmer Rouge. In 1968 Myint died passing power to his chosen successor Mway Saw Phan.
