This R&D provides resources on border tensions between China and Myanmar. Myanmar is currently engaged in fighting Han Chinese rebels in its Kokang region, located on Myanmar’s eastern border with China. Myanmar alleges that Chinese mercenaries are helping the rebel group that calls itself the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA). Fighting with the MNDAA spilled over into Chinese territory last week when five people were killed by a Myanmar air operation in China’s Yunnan province. China has long denied that it has given sanctuary to rebels fighting in Myanmar.
