Myanmar explosives injure five in China

POSTED: 15 May 2015 17:47

BEIJING: Five people in China were injured after two explosive devices from Myanmar hit the country's southwest, local authorities said Friday, following a similar strike two months ago that killed five Chinese citizens.

The explosives landed in a rural area of Lincang in Yunnan province on Thursday night, close to where Myanmar soldiers have been fighting ethnic insurgents for months.

One Chinese and four people from Myanmar were wounded, an official of the city's propaganda office told AFP.

"The injured are being treated in the hospital and their lives are not in danger," said the official, who would only give his surname Liu.

It was not clear whether the devices were bombs dropped from an airplane or artillery shells.

State broadcaster China Central Television said Friday that one landed in front of a restaurant and the other hit a road in a residential compound.

Myanmar in February declared a state of emergency in Kokang, a remote region of the northeastern Shan state, in response to a surge in ethnic conflict in the area.

Kokang has strong bonds with China -- local people speak a Chinese dialect and China's yuan is the common currency -- and tens of thousands of people have crossed the border to flee the fighting.

Thursday's incident was the second in around two months after a Myanmar warplane dropped a bomb in a sugarcane field in the same area in March, killing five Chinese people and injuring eight others.

Beijing was infuriated and responded by sending fighter jets to patrol the border, with Premier Li Keqiang promising to "resolutely" protect citizens.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Friday that Beijing was "checking specifics" of the latest incident, adding "multiple bombs" had landed on China's territory and they posed "grave danger" to its people's life and property.

"The Chinese side is strongly dissatisfied with that and has solemnly urged Myanmar to take effective measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again," she said at a regular briefing on Friday.

Beijing was a key backer of Myanmar's military junta while it was under Western sanctions, but President Thein Sein has increased ties with other countries including the United States since launching political reforms in 2011.

Myanmar can continue bombing ariterally shells into China border without getting close to PLAAF. PLA knows it can't do anything about it.

This is a deliberate act of war. We must retaliate with a nuclear strike on Myanmar capital city.

 

[Khalid Newazi]

Time for China to show Burma that they aren't to be fucked with.

some, if it's a shell, probably, if it's from the air, probably Russian or it could be Chinese. Hard to say.

Now somebody is trying to provoke a response from Chinese. We Chinese are reasonable people and do not do rash action once investigation is done. Remember Myanmar previous killed our people and their defense minister even need to come out apologise and agreed compensation. Myanmar will need to response to China request.

While you warmonger can watched this thread how it turns out.

Funny is this show can continue so long ...

Another funny, while most Chinese alway roar too much about how did China teach lesson to Vietnamese, threaten us with all dangerous words, but now, look like Myanmar was teaching a lesson to Chinese, and all those bark was so silly ...

 

[Tom99]

Don't be silly. There won't be nuclear weapons dropping, war starting or lesson teaching by either side. China and Myanmar have friendly relationship with each other. As such, this incident will be investigated by both side and resolved peacefully.

Myanmar stronk

China doesn't want a negative response from Myanmar.
A careless reaction could lead to the US intervene to Myanmar politics.

We all know how well the bilaterial relation between MM and US growing recently.

Burma should shell Han specific areas in China

Maybe. I can't understand why MM govt has to do this. Afghanistan, Iraq all want to request American troops out of their territory but Myanmar want to bring them in. It's headache. Myanmar has less and less choices.

Burma should shell Han specific areas in China

why?
