Myanmar/Burma civil conflict
- Thread starter flyzies
- Start date
Turns out MNDAA actually maintains a Chinese blog that do daily updates, in case you want first hand info from their side:
As of yesterday MNDAA claim they have taken 141 positions. This is captured ammo from one such position taken yesterday morning:

Ah, great find. This is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
If you've been following the offensive you would know the majority of the troops from the four families and Junta are defending the Kokang capital Laokai, and over the last two weeks that number has gone up even more as troops fall back from positions taken by MNDAA back to the capital. Laokai is slowly getting surrounded and a siege may happen.
Well something interesting happened today. China Southern Power Grid reports two towers that are part of the 110kV line that supplies power to Kokang suffered a critical failure and the lines have been shutdown. There's another 35kV line that goes from China to Kokang but China Southern Power Grid inspected it recently and found major faults in one of the tower and so that line cannot be switched on
.
Faults on both lines are near the China-Myanmar border and cannot be repaired at this time due to wartime conditions, restore time unknown.
As far as we know Laokai is currently without power.
I'm starting to think maybe the 1020 rumors are true, timing for this seems too convenient for MNDAA offensive.

Three out of four are now in Chinese hands, handed over by Myanmar police:
This is supposedly the handover of 明珍珍 and 明国平
Their dad 明学昌 is said to be dead and his body also handed over to Chinese police.
So what's the story here? why did they end up in separated?
There's also a close up of 明学昌's body where someone is examine his eye, I didn't include it but if you want to check it's all over weibo. It does look like 明学昌 is dead.
明学昌 supposedly killed himself at a Burmese army HQ out of psychologic pressure. But if that's where it happened it could just as well be he was sold out by the Junta army and in a panic they killed him and handed over his body and family in hope that offensive will end due to orders from higher power. Or maybe they didn't want him to talk in Chinese custody and fess up evidence that would make the Junta look bad. Who knows.
