Despite the spread of the CCP virus in Burma (also known as Myanmar), the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has recently issued notice to Chinese nationals stranded in northern Burma to return to China by June 30, or else they will have their household registrations canceled. This is a completely different move from the CCP’s previous practice of strictly controlling the return of its citizens. A Chinese professor suggests that the reason for this is the emergence of an armed resistance force in northern Burma that frightens the CCP.
On June 1, the official WeChat account of the town of Gangyi in Tianmen city, Hubei Province, released an announcement with a list of the names, ID numbers, and addresses of 33 people who were called “suspected criminals who have crossed the China-Burma border,” according to Chinese media The Paper.
