On November 23, a large-scale ** and fire suddenly broke out in a freight yard near the Mujie port on the China-Myanmar border, causing the loss of more than 100 transport vehicles and a large number of goods. These goods are mainly civilian materials from the **Myanmar*** area and Lao Cai, which cannot be delivered due to the fierce clashes that are taking place in the Kokang area, and can only be temporarily stored in the freight yard. Most of the people in the yard have also been evacuated to China or other safe places.
According to people familiar with the matter, the yard was attacked by large-caliber howitzers, but the identity of the attackers has not yet been determined. Some people suspect that it was the Allied forces, because the Allied forces are attacking the Mujie port and trying to control this important ** passage. However, the Confederates were quick to deny the accusation, and from the point of view of interest, the Confederates had no incentive to destroy these materials, because they were valuable to them and probably the property of their enemies, the five families. Another possibility is that the Tatmadaw did it, perhaps out of panic or retaliation, fearing that the Allies would seize the supplies after taking Mujie, or that they wanted to cause trouble for China, since a large part of these transports came from China.
Whoever attacked the cargo yard is a matter of great concern to China, because it means that the flames of war have reached the border with Myanmar, threatening the safety and property of Chinese border residents. In order to safeguard national sovereignty, border stability, and the safety of people's lives and property, the Southern Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) began to hold an actual combat exercise on our side of the China-Myanmar border on 25 November, testing the theater troops' ability to quickly maneuver, seal off the border, and strike with firepower. This is a strong warning from China to the warring parties in northern Myanmar, urging them to cease fire and cease fighting as soon as possible, resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, avoid escalation, and not allow any external forces to interfere.
The exercise is also a deterrent to China's U.S., which is currently focused on the Israeli-Palestinian and Russia-Ukraine conflicts, but still wants to take the opportunity to overthrow the Burmese military** and try to muddy the waters along the China-Myanmar border. China has shown its courage and determination by using real troops and ammunition to show that it will not allow the United States to succeed here. China's move is good news for all parties in Myanmar, which on the one hand can avoid interference and subversion by the United States, and on the other hand, it can prompt all parties in Myanmar to rely on their own strength to solve the problem, rather than relying on external forces. In this way, the situation in Myanmar will be able to move towards peace and stability.
