The loss of border trade routes cost the Military Council a lot. For now, the two largest border trading stations in Burma are missing: Muse, which trades with China, and Myawati, which trades with Thailand. Those two camps are paying a lot of tax money to the military council.
Just as the military council’s income is affected, there are many damages to the people’s side. China and Thailand are Myanmar’s two largest trading partners. The stoppage of trade routes with those countries has the effect of stopping the entry and exit of goods. As a result, the price of imported products will rise, and on the export side, Myanmar will no longer be able to send its usual agricultural products, causing hardship to farmers. The final consequence is that the price of goods will rise again. Currently, the people will continue to suffer in this cycle. It will be cool if the military council falls quickly.
