Deciding the fate of poor Burma?

A Bangladesh newspaper The Dhaka Tribune reported on 21 January that Myanmar Government is advancing the Chinese-sponsored Kyauk Phyu Deep Seaport amid the nationwide armed-conflicts which are getting severe day by day.

Despite the worsening conflicts currently occurring in Rakhine State, Communist China together with Myanmar is marching on strongly to complete the 1,700-kilometer long China-Myanmar Economic Corridor connecting Kunming in Yunnan province to the Indian Ocean. Kyauk Phyu port is the terminus of that corridor ending (or starting) in the Bay of Bengal in Indian Ocean.

Irrawaddy Media said that the deep seaport project is an important part of the Myanmar economic agreement on the Trans-Burma Economic Corridor connecting the Indian Ocean to the Kunmin City of land-locked Yunnan State in Southern China. An official media conference was held recently after signing an agreement for the Kyauk Phyu Deepsea Port Project.

Construction and development of the Deep Seaport and the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is a joint venture between the China and Myanmar, and the Myanmar military government-backed Kyauk Phyu Special Economic Zone Management Committee is managing it.

China Behind The Rebel’s Victory In Shan-North?

               (Song Danyang’s article from the RFA Mandrin on 16 January 2024.)

What role did China play in a rebel group’s victory in northern Myanmar? Ethnic-minority armies couched their campaign as an effort to rid the region of criminal organizations that had frustrated China.

When the Three Brotherhood Alliance of rebel groups in Myanmar started a campaign against junta forces in the northern part of the country they chose a slogan designed to win support from a fourth potential ally: China. “Wipe out the scammers, rescue our compatriots,” the group declared in the message.

China, which shares a border with Kokang, a region in Shan state in northern Myanmar, had expressed increasing frustration with organized crime rings that had been allowed to operate in the area by junta-aligned forces. An estimated 120,000 people are being held in Myanmar against their will. Chinese nationals have both been trafficked by these groups and fleeced by them.

Myanmar Army Sold Out Shan-North To China

      (Based on staff articles from Myanmar FACE BOOK posts on 11 January 2024.)

The so-called China-sponsored Ceasefire Agreement was signed between the shamefully-defeated Myanmar Army and the victorious Northern Aliance of KIA, MDNAA, TNLA, and AA on January 11. The term of the CA was very clear. Shan-North is now Northern Allance Armies’ and Myanmar Army is to stay away from the vast area, forever.

No-Fly-Zone over Shan-North especially the East of mighty Salween River, the vast region bordering China, will be immediately enforced by Yunan PLA divisons with SAM missile batteries stationed just across the borderline. Stupid Myanmar Army always talking loud and proud on Burma’s Soveriginity has suddenly given up a significant chunk of Union of Burma without a serious fight and it looks like we will never get it back from China.

Rumours swirling around in Rangoon are that Motherfucker Min Aung Hlaing had basically sold out Shan North to China for a significant amount of cash along with an offer of Political Asylum in China if his army suddenly collapses and he and his immediate family have to flee Burma in very near future.

Laukkai Has Surrendered: Kokang Is Now China's

    (Translated staff articles from Myanmar FACE BOOK posts on 05 January 2023.)

The locals called themselves Kokang Shans of the border lands, but their native language is Chinese Mandarin, Chinese Yuan is their money, all utilities including electricity, water, and telecommunications come straight across the borderline from the Yunan State of China.They always are the ethnic Chinese and now they get their lands back from pesky Burmese after three months long war.  

Laukkai, the capital city of kokang and the notorious epicenter of billion dollars cyber scams, has surrendered to the Kokang army of Chinese-armed rebels the MNDAA. More than 3000-strong Myanmar Army divisions with mountainous stockpile of deadly weapons had just surrendered without a serious fight to more than ten thousands strong MNDAA on January-5.

Myanmar Army supposedly was determined to hold on Laukkai and thus steadily strengthened the city with five infantry divisions namely ROC-Laukkai, LID-55, MOC-12, MOC-14, and MOC-16 altogether more than three thousands troops supported by heavy artillery and Myanmar Air Force.

Myanmar Mi-17 Chopper Shot Down By FN-6 MANPAD

    (Translated staff articles from Myanmar FACE BOOK posts on 03 January 2023.)

A Myanmar Air Force’s Mi-17 transport helicopter was shot down in rugged Kachin State by KIA Kachin rebels with a Chinese-supplied FN-6 MANPAD shoulder-fired missile launcher on January-3.

The shot-down occurred at just before noon on third January while the Mi-17 was delivering supplies and troops to the Nar-phaut army camp in Waimaw Township near the Kachin State Capital Myit-kyi-nar.

This is the fourth Myanmar Airforce’s aircraft shot down by a FN-6 MANPAD since 2021. The first one was a Russian Chopper shot down also by KIA near Myothit Town in Moemauk Township on 2012 May-3. Myanmar Army admitted that three Air Force officers were killed then.
