25X1 A 1. I Comment. This area is within Yunnan.
25X1 A 2. Comment. This area is one of the wildest in the Wa States. A campaign,
wring the rainy season, may be significant in terms of the previously reported
plan of the Chinese Communists to set up an autonomous nationalist state of all
Shan tribes and may represent a Chinese Communist attempt to subdue the more
recalcitrant of the Wa tribes who have never submitted to outside authority.

25X1A 4. Comment. Such a migration during the rainy season is Most unusual and
indicates extreme dissatisfaction with the Chinese Communists.
