Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (Kokang rebel forces)

[Aepsilons]

There are much more Myanmese elites who are fake Chinese. Many times, it was Chinese attacking Chinese and not Barmese attacking Chinese.

Unfortunately such policy of discrimination was seen. My affection goes to the Kokang refugees and civilians who are persecuted even to this day.

Actually many of them are protege of KMT. There are good reasons why there are Warlordism in Myanmar because it is always like that, and Barmese power never reach the hill.

Aside from that, I admire him for his rise to success from relative poverty. The conglomerate that bears his legacy, Asia World, is the largest in Myanmar -- and testament to how anything is possible with the use of the right resources.

As for Lo's political adventurism -- that's a different matter.

Chinese is something like Jews, fighting with one another on both sides.

Thaksin is Chinese and so is his opponent. Pot is Chinese and Norodom is very Chinese as well.

Ne Win is Chinese and he shit on Chinese worst. There is one PDF Myanmese who is nationlistic and claim himself a Chinese. He despise Kokangi.

Rebels Seize Post Near Myanmar-China Border, Kill 7 Government Troops

Kokang rebels fighting against Myanmar’s army captured a government position near the country’s border with China on Wednesday, killing seven Myanmar soldiers while losing two rebel fighters, local sources told RFA’s Mandarin Service.

Government forces shifted to using ground forces and artillery to attack the rebels after an incident last week in which Myanmar’s air force mistakenly dropped bombs on Chinese territory, killing four sugar cane farmers and drawing a stern warning from China.

"Gun battles continued from last night until dawn as the Myanmar military launched an artillery bombardment against rebels. Even though we don’t know where the government force is targeting, but we can hear explosions from heavy artillery fires,” said a Kokang border area resident who gave only his surname, Yuan.

“There are no more Myanmar military air planes in the sky, however. They might fear Chinese fighter jets,” he told RFA, referring to sorties China’s military has been staging in response to the cross-border attack on March 14.

Thefts mount

Nearly 40 days of armed clashes since the conflict erupted Feb. 9 have made life difficult for ordinary civilians in Kokang, forcing many members of the ethnic Chinese minority to flee their self-ruled district in northeastern Myanmar’s Shan State and cross into China.

The highest estimate put the number of refugees streaming into China at 100,000, although many appear to have returned to Myanmar when fighting quieted down. China has on occasion closed sections of the border and now requires valid ID before allowing refugees to enter Chinese territory.

"Many thefts happened and many people steal. No one is responsible for law and order, and this place is now a mess," Yuan said of the situation in his border village.

Rice and other cooking supplies are in short supply in the numerous small makeshift refugee camps that have sprung up since the conflict, volunteers said.

“Now we urgently need rice and cooking oil,” said a man surnamed Ke, a pastor who has been involved in helping fellow Christians in Myanmar.

Volunteers meet rebel aide

Ke said volunteers were holding consultations on Wednesday Chen Shanshao, a senior aide to rebel leader Peng Jiasheng, to discuss how to help the refugees.

Ethnic Chinese Peng heads the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), which is trying to retake the Kokang self-administered zone that it had controlled until 2009.

“We discussed setting up a temporary school, and we need their help,” Mr. Ke said of the MNDAA.

“We have purchased 800 small stools and want the children to use them to study,” he added.

Myanmar military's newspaper Myawaddy Daily said on Wednesday that fighting in the Laukkai area escalated the previous day, with the government forces using heavy artillery to attack the strongholds of Kokang rebels. Four government soldiers were wounded and three rebel corpses have been found, the report said.

Tatmadaw, without air power.

According to unverifiable local sources, the Kokang rebels scored a major victory by inflicting over 70 enemy casualties (there are graphic photos of the body-count elsewhere) belonging to the Tatmadaw 66th Light Infantry Division two days ago. The rebels credited their victory by the absence of the Myanmar air force

Would a Kokang independent region good for China?

I do not want to see Myanmar breaks up. I would like to see more devolution of power. Myanmar and China is natural friend.

While Barmese claim that they are cultural more Indians, I think it is quite BS. You mix with Barmese and you find their character completely the same as any of the Yunnan minorities.

Besides, Barmese race and Hindus are quite natural geopolitical enemies. While Barmese keep quiet, if you get close to their intellects and see their bloggers work, you realize they resent India.

They still remember how British help India to harm them. They still think about Manipur, Naga, Mizoram. Also former Burma empire owns the entire Assam, until British help Hindus to sabotage them.

Even then it took 3 Anglo Burma war to defeat the Barmese, killing tenths of thousands of British Sepoy. This is an incredible feat. Big big big India got conquered by few hundred white man commanded by Robert Clive in Battle of Plassey.

Kokang people really don't look like Burmese at all, their facial features are strongly resemblant of Han Chinese...

They are Han Chinese. They speak a Mandarin dialect. They are the remnants of the Ming loyalists who fled to Burma in the 17th Century with their king when the Manchus took the Chinese throne.

Interesting. I'll have to read more into their story.

The story of the last Ming emperor is interesting. He sought refuge at the court of Taungoo but the Manchus came after him. His retinue settled in what is no Kokant territory.

And lo and behold, their numbers have grown. Have they married into local population ? Or have they intermarried only amongst themselves ?

I would say they stayed within themselves or their like such as the Kachin or Shan. They don't seem to have very Burmese features.

Very interesting. Quite similar to the Amish, and Mennonite communities here in the United States, who come from old German stock; they live a communal , agricultural lifestyle, speak a dialect of German known as Plattdeutsch , these groups remained largely closed off as well.
