Myanmar is a mess really. Attempts at heavy handed centralized control have been a failure. The country is just not uniform enough culturally for that to be possible. The military should have been more patient and let economic development continue even if it was at a slow pace.

Aung Lin Tun allegedly had ties to Bai Suocheng, the former chair of the military-backed Kokang Special Administrative Zone in northern Shan State, who was arrested by the junta and transferred to China in January

This goes all the way to the top doesn't it. Maybe 明学昌 really was killed before his body was handed over in an attempt to prevent him from incriminating the Junta if he was handed over to China alive.

In Yankee’s latest talk show he claimed that the exercise on Myanmar border far exceeded his expectations in scale and quality of assets deployed. He did not expect the level of joint was or size. However, he doesn’t think that it was designed to deter foreign forces interfering in Myanmar but rather warn both sides fighting to keep live fire away from the border areas.

When asked whether it was a warning to Indian influence in Kachin, Yankee revealed that if China needed to send a warning it will be directly on the Sino-Indian borders. He also acknowledged that the Jawans purchased a large quantity of EW gear from abroad and tried to interfere with Chinese assets in the area. Needless to say it failed spectacularly and after much humiliation, the IA probably has justification for purchasing newer EW hear if top brass hasn’t covered it up with some cock and bull story like they usually do.

Rebels have seized control of Myawaddy (200,000 population) next to the Thai border in the far south which includes key trading routes to Thailand. Hundreds of Junta troops is reportedly fleeing to the border in civilian clothing.
Did the KNLA also discover a bunch of Chinese made drones, sniper rifles, and night vision equipment growing in the jungle like the MNDAA and friends did?

Myawaddy is supposed to be the location in Myanmar with the most scam centers, even more than Kokang before the MNDAA takeover.
