Back Kachin, Not the Junta: US Policy Faces Reckoning in Myanmar
Press release from Khit Thit Media: a garbled automatic translation, edited to render more intelligible. It makes clear how China is putting pressure on the Northern Brotherhood Alliance. And at the same time highlights how difficult it is to assist the Kachin and allies in the far north of Burma. ________________________________ China threatens KIA that it will stop purchasing minerals from Kachin State if the war against [the military regime] is not stopped. Yangon, July 8 According to a writer's report, China is threatening KIA that [it] will stop purchasing minerals if the war against [the military regime] is not stopped. … [unitelligible] The KIA has been fighting the battle for VanMau since December 2024 and [mining] excavation is being carried out near Vanmau, where almost half of the world's mineral [rare-earth] production is currently undertaken. China, which mainly buys and stocks minerals from Kachin State, has threatened the KIA if it does not stop fighting to hold VanMau, it will stop purchasing minerals. In May this year, during a meeting with officials from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, it was reported that China is using the purchase of resources to force compliance with its wishes. Although Reuters "is unable to decide whether or not China has used threats, local fighting has led to restrictions on mining activities and rare-earth exports from Myanmar have also fallen this year." "The earlier ceasefire and peace talks between Myanmar Army and Kachin Independence Army were for the common good of both China and Myanmar and its people," said a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry. A Senior General of KIA says "I don't make any comment about pressure from China." China has offered cross-border trade with KIA-controlled territory if an unnamed KIA official calls off the fighting against regime forces." "If we do not accept, they will block export of products, including minerals, from Kachin State to China," said a KIA official. ________________________________________________
