Myanmar/Burma civil conflict

China just doesn't do that really. Throughout history, the solution has always been, make minority people "more Chinese".
Look at Wa people (or most other Chinese minorities). For better or worse, they are just like any other Chinese people, but with alternate dances and traditional outfits. Mandarin/Chinese is the major language in the area.
Arakan Army downed a Mi-17. No exact date or location.
Arakan Army captured two 56m LCMs and one 29m LCT Ship in Kyauktaw Township, Northern Rakhine State.

Same vibes
Ngl, Twan Mrat Naing seems like a very capable and solid leader. It's crazy to think he used to be a tour guide and now commands one of the most powerful armies in Myanmar. The Arakan populace is completely backing him and the AA.
Some key points from an interview with him by the BBC regarding China:
"I believe that only when the rule of the military dictatorship ends, can we then secure a prosperous future for all Myanmar's people and ensure lasting peace. However clashes along the China-Myanmar border pose direct threats to China's border security, and we acknowledge this concern.
Hence China has been urging for restraint with a firm stance. There's a considerable risk of jeopardizing China's interests and national security from their perspective. Yet I believe China also desires peace for Myanmar as a whole. It's crucial to navigate towards our goals without escalating tensions with other nations”, Major General Twan Mrat Naing said.

I was just thinking the other day.
Due to the ban on Chinese manufactured firearms by Bush Sr., the number of Type 81s in the US is almost non-existent.

Northeastern View | India’s relationship with Myanmar’s Arakan Army — it’s complicated
Kaladan project can be completed in Myanmar, we have no problem with India: Arakan Army spokesperson
In the first-ever interview given to any Indian publication, an Arakan Army spokesperson said they are ready to cooperate for mutual benefit.Basically India betray early AA revolutionary leaders which got them killed. Now India needs the cooperation of AA to complete their road in Myanmar. Would be good if China can exert some influence in AA, maybe a few truckload of drones for some cooperation.
