4. Chinese Communists assuming direction of rrilla operations in
Burma: 25X1
I he Chinese ---
Communists have trained and equipped 600
Burmese Communists and 300 Kachin
followers of the rebel leader Naw Seng.
these forces are to be infiltrated into Burma where they wi concur 25X1
widespread guerrilla warfare against the Burmese Government under
the direction of Chu Chia-pi, "famed" Cod-.nmunist guerrilla leader
in Yunnan. The Embassy comments that Chu is ideally suited for such
an assignment and that this method of Chinese intervention will be
most difficult for the Burmese Government to combat.
Comment: Information has been steadily
accumulating from numerous sources indicating Chinese ,Communist
preparations for limited intervention in Burma. Burmese forces
are largely committee,. against insurgents in lower Burma and few
reinforcements could be spared for operations in the north. Chinese
aid to Burmese Communists would instill new spirit in the latter's
currently disorganized insurrection and develop it into a serious
threat to the existence of the moderate Burmese Government.
