If Burma is causing headaches for neighboring countries with refugees, why would these same neighboring countries have a problem with China punishing Burma? You already read in the media that these rebels are aligned with China making the Burmese government out to be the innocent party. Like the backward Burmese government isn't reading this as support for them since they have no understanding of a free media since the government controls information?
Here's the deal. Any of them caught in China should be shot. Any aircraft should be shot down. If artillery is fired landing in China, China should fire back destroying that artillery. When North Korea does it to South Korea and there's instant return fire, do you see anyone complaining the South Koreans crossed the line? If the Burmese government doesn't want that to happen then they should order their troops not to cross the border. Simple as that. Yes this world is not equal. While the South Koreans get to return fire without thinking about it, China can't? That's unacceptable and China should buck what the few in this world have hypocritically established as the status quo. The usual suspects are so alarmed at the possibility, like no other country has ever done before, that China might used drones... China should start flying armed drones along its side of the border.
Don't give a crap about what other countries think because any so-called self-proclaimed civilized society would not have any problem at the least what I've called for if they were in that position. And they would be okay going further than that for themselves. Sorry to tell this but it's a more dangerous world when the inequity of right to actions is so obvious. If the worry-warts don't want China or any other country they don't personally like to act in their rights as they would, then they better start treating the world equality because the term "rights" don't mean anything.

Not sure which incident or occasion you are referring to, but in general Chinese border guards should be PAP and equipment varies within the PAP depending on their role/mission. Being border guards they probably would have been armed with assault rifles same as light infantry so unless the Burmese had armored vehicles or infantry heavy weapons with them the Chinese border guards should have been equally matched. Of course it also depends on the numbers present on each side on that occasion.
Just goes to say China doesn't really care if a nation is a democracy or not to form a useful relationship. Stability, receptiveness to Chinese concerns, are the important factors.
This is really the case for most countries in the world when forming relationships with each other. One's ideological and political views can always be overcome by pragmatism. I feel like China should be more outspoken in its position of "who cares" regarding working with nations of different political arrangements, and seek to normalize other factors to base cooperation on.
Yes, the point I was making is that China and the US have quite different rhetorics where China is publicly "meh" towards a nation's political system while the US is publicly a lot more opposed to things like authoritarianism,
Yet the US more often than not are still willing to forfeit their values of democracy and human rights and work with countries which may not meet their standards. I don't have issue with that, it's just kind of amusing is all, that pragmatism does in the end outweigh everything else.
