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. ________________________________________________ -

Health Rabies Deaths Triple in Thailand: Urgent Alerts Issued
Photo of Dr Phanumart Yanawetaskul courtesy of KhaoSod Thailand faces a troubling surge in rabies-related fatalities, with deaths tripling compared to last year. The Department of Disease Control (DDC) reported that this year has seen seven deaths from rabies across Chon Buri, Sisaket, Chachoengsao, Nakhon Ratchasima, Tak, and Rayong. The increase has triggered concerns about public awareness and animal vaccination practices. Dr Phanumart Yanawetaskul, DDC's Director General, disclosed that 90% of these infections were contracted from dogs and 10% from cats. The Department of Livestock Development recorded 164 rabies-positive animals, highlighting a growing issue. Provinces most affected include Ubon Ratchathani, Buriram, Songkhla, Surin, Maha Sarakham, Nakhon Ratchasima, Chachoengsao, Chon Buri, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Mukdahan. Dr Phanumart emphasised the importance of immediate action after exposure — washing wounds thoroughly, seeking medical help, and adhering to the rabies vaccination schedule are critical steps to prevent fatal outcomes. Wounds should be cleaned with soap and water for 10–15 minutes, followed by antiseptic use. Medical advice must be sought to initiate a full vaccination course. Animals involved should be monitored for ten days. The rise in rabies cases is attributed to several factors: unvaccinated pets, improper wound care, and adopting stray animals without understanding the risks. Self-administered vaccines by pet owners may compromise effectiveness, resulting in lower than desired vaccination coverage. Unsupervised pets risk exposure to rabid animals, exacerbating the problem. Public health officials urge the public to take rabies seriously and follow preventative measures. Annual vaccinations for pets by qualified veterinarians are crucial for maintaining effective immunity. Dr Phanumart's key message to individuals bitten by potentially rabid animals is clear: wash, medicate, isolate, consult, and vaccinate. For more information or assistance, contact the Department of Disease Control through their hotline at 1422. The urgency of this public health issue cannot be overstated, and community vigilance is vital in combating the spread of rabies and safeguarding lives. In a climate where rabies remains a prevalent threat, taking swift and informed action can prevent further tragedies. The ability to recognise potential risks and respond appropriately lies at the heart of controlling this deadly disease. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-08 -

Immigration appointment 18th July 2025 for first retirement 1 year extension visa
Your list seems complete to me. The bank letter is best to obtain on day of application. It's a simple statement confirms you as owner of the account and balance on day of application. 100b Also do a small deposit. That updates bank book and shows activity on day of application. As for reentry permit.,yes TM8 also requires photo and basic photocopiers if pp You can obtain seamlessly at airport with a 200b fee and immigration do all.
