7,b o The Chineme Nato n l .atO at Mong Hat claim that they have tbtained pledges from
leaders of the Chinese oommunitiee in Burman Thei1andq and Malaya that they will
esuppor.'t any move on the part of the National ,ste+ tor!.-enter Ya nan. Financial
contributions as well as new resa u1t are fi,ons?t&faA?,1y reaching gong Heat and there
has been a general improvement in the morale of the troops.
2. The Nationalists are extremely bitter tc and the Government of Burma (GOB) for having
bombed their installations and hampered their m,veInento by planing troops along the
main artMrief of uata.iriunioation in the Shan States. All, military actions by the
Burmese against them and all cases of third degree methods used by the Burmese in
nteri ogat?srg Nationalists have been carefully re;;orded so that when and if the
Natloma1.iets again gain control in China,, they will, be in a position to document the
severe demands they intend to make against the GOB.
3, The Nationali;' ' hope to gain non Wrol of all as as in the Shan States that border
Yunnan in order to h&re the maximum points of entry when and if they have the
v apabi .ity f tho inting a general offensive. At the present time they fear a con d
attack by GOB troops more than they do opposition from the Chinese Communists ac
the border.
