Burmese junta is almost certainly "asking for Chinese armed intervention"
https://www.irrawaddy.com/business/myanmar-junta-blocks-flow-of-exports-to-checkpoint-on-china-border.html
as no trade is moving through Chin Shwe Haw since 1027(2023).
If the junta halts trade--as it is doing now, China will not stand for it.
It can just flex its little finger and sack Burmese SAC.
Incidentally, it's also anniversary of Chinese takeover of Tibet.
The other shoe is soon to drop as Chinese--mediated "peace talks" in Burma have failed already--in the trade sense, and it's all about cross-border trade.
Also there are allegations that KNU is involved in"untouched" Shwe KoKo scam hub near Mae Sod-Myawaddy on Burma-Thai Border--see
Irrawaddy article.
It is to be feared the "new sheriffs" will continue to run these scams,including sex scams which started appearing in 2020.
War-lordism or lady-ism (though Olive Yang--opium queen or opium queer was no lady)
predicted by my late systems political scientist professor Dr Henry Teune is already happening.
I don't see any hope for Burma.
They (the junta) will rule the graveyards.
