| Chinese Authorities Seek Damages from Junta |
| Friday, October 2, 2009 |
Local authorities in Lincang, a region in southwestern China bordering Burma, have demanded 280 million yuan (US $41 million) in compensation from the Burmese regime for loss of property incurred during a junta offensive in Kokang in late August.
According to a source based on the Sino-Burmese border, officials from Lincang want the regime to pay for damage done to Chinese-owned businesses in Laogai, the Kokang capital.
The Burmese authorities responded by asking their Chinese counterparts to provide a detailed list of damaged property. They added that they would only compensate businesses operating legally in Burma.
In a statement issued on Sept. 26, China’s Foreign Ministry urged the Burmese junta to ensure the security of Chinese citizens living near the conflict area and to avoid any further clashes.
Burma’s ambassador to China, Thein Lwin, told China News Service on Sept. 29 that the Kokang region was peaceful again, and that he had “sympathy” for residents’ losses caused by the clashes.
In March 1989, the Kokang became one of the first ethnic armed groups to sign a cease-fire agreement with the Burmese regime.
