The main information from the news reported by Myanmar Now is that China held meetings with the leaders of the UWSA. The UWSA pressed for full cooperation in the MNDAA and the Chinese government’s comprehensive sanctions against the Kokang region. The Chinese government has made “5 cuts” to the MNDAA and the Kokang region, namely electricity, water the Internet, Blockages of supplies (consumer goods including fuel, medicine and rice) and restrictions on the entry and exit of people, and China’s border crossings bordering the Kokang region are tightly closed. Although China has imposed blockades at the border gates, goods and people from the “Wa”-controlled area bordering the Kokang region bordering the Kokang region have been passing through into the Kokang region, so China’s “5-cut” action against the MNDAA is ineffective, so it is putting pressure on the Wa group. The Chinese Special Representative threatened the “Wa” leaders that if they do not fully cooperate with the Chinese government, the “Wa” country will face similar sanctions. In addition, the “Wa” leaders, who have been designated by the Chinese government as the main suppliers of arms and ammunition to the most powerful armed groups based on the Chinese border, are not to provide any weapons or ammunition to the MNDAA. He even pressured Shan North not to participate in the war.
Expressing the attitude of the Chinese government, it does not recognize the occupation of Lashio by the MNDAA. that occupying Lashio is an invasion; The MNDAA has even threatened the Kokang leaders with an assault if they oppose China’s immediate withdrawal from Lashio. (TNLA) has also been told that the Chinese government will take sanctions.
China is deathly afraid that the military council will fall because of the 1027 operation. Therefore, they are putting pressure on various groups in North Shan. It can be said that China has openly stood on the side of the military council.
