China has sent a threatening letter to TLNA, a Shan North group. In the letter, the TLNA has stated in harsh words that the fighting should stop immediately and that if it does not stop, it will take drastic measures. The letter was sent by the Shweli City Security Council and is not a letter issued by the Chinese central government. The format of the letter is the title, It was written on a blank piece of paper without any stamps, etc., and the terms were stupid. Therefore, they are debating whether the letter is fake or real. TLNA has confirmed that it has received the letter and is sitting in a meeting on how to respond.
Whether the letter is fake or real, China’s pressure is great on the northern groups. Since the start of the second phase of Operation 1027, China has closed border crossings linked to northern groups. It is cut off so that goods cannot flow. They cut off the electricity. They are pressured to stop the operations. Now it has reached the level of issuing threatening letters.
