Probably. The cases look similar to these:
It is not that surprising since Myanmar is a Russian weapons client both before and after the coup. For example they delivered the Yak-130 to them not that long ago.

Yes, Myanmar was like a Chinese dynasty (and any old fashioned monarchy) that rules the border region through feudal lords. The last Myanmar dynasty before the British conquest expended its control to bordering China. It got its boundry set through the Qing-Myanmar wars. Qing replaced those feudal lords of various ethnic groups (on the Chinese sides) with directly appointed officials (改土归流). Myanmar never did it before itself being destroyed by the British. So Myanmar was never a state in morden sense, just like India. Only after the British left after WWII did Myanmar begin to build a morden state. So naturally those border people want equal status as the Barma people, either as a equal federal entity as Aung San promised or independent. So what we are seeing is the natural process of a state building that has never been finished in Myanmar. India's struggle in the northeast is the same thing in comparison.
So I am not surprised that the rebels took down the government in the first place, they (rebel) never wanted that government or the state in its current form, they never see Myanmar as their own country. The last Myanmar dynasty never got the time to incoperate the conquests into effective rule.
This is insane.
1 lieutenant colonel, 2 majors, 5 Captains, and a total of 317 ordinary Myanmar Military soldiers surrendered to the MNDAA in Lashio City.

Lashio has been liberated by the MNDAA
If China doesn't protest, I think the border city of Muse is next for MNDAA.
Massive respect to the MNDAA, in the current world full of de-sinicization movements, from Taiwan to Japan and South East Asia. They are one of the few that actually pushing forward with sinicization.

There's a chance that the country will break up now. LaXu isnt an out of the way mountain hole somewhere, it has a railway stop, an airport and is the beginning terminus of Burma Road.
Its ridiculous that LaXu fell faster than LaoJie. The military has had half a year to prepare for this showdown and this is the result. Its starting to look like this regime is not survivable.

Wasn't Lashio surrounded for half a year already? China can only do so much to prevent the fall of the Junta. If China decides the fall is inevitable then China needs a big buffer zone and secure the pipe/port areas.
I think it's pretty clear that China has no objections to this development and probably even wishes for that to happenLashio has been liberated by the MNDAA

They were, you'd think they have a plan to break the siege when you have half a damn year to organize it.
