1. Since their entry into Burma, the Chinese Nationalists have obtained food from
villages in the territory they controlled. On 1 March 1953, all villages
claiming they were unable to supply food to the Chinese Nationalists were
ordered to supply men. In the Mong Pu-awn (N 21-11,"E 99-01j)-Mong Pu Long
sector, many Lahu have volunteered to serve with the Chinese Nationalists.
The villagers of Nawng Fuk, however, under the leadership of KYA HTI, went to
the Burmese and asked for arms. They set up an ambush and killed two Chinese.
Their village was then burned by the Chinese Nationalists.
2. Lui Shans from the Sip Song Panna area are used as intelligence agents by the
Chinese Nationalists and are sent regularly as far north at Ch'eli (N 21-58,
E 100-50). On 22 May, a Lahu informer who had been to Ch'eli reported that the
main-headquarters of the Thai Autonomous State had been moved from Keng Tawng
and was now at Ch'eli. He said that the Chinese Communists have about 1,000
troops at Ch'eli, another force of regimental strength at Ta Law,l and a force
at the Mong Long ferry near Fohai (N 21-50, E 100-26).
3. The Chinese Nationalists-apparently have no plans to cooperate with any
decisions made in the four-power meetings at Bangkok. With more and more of
the indigenous groups joining their ranks, it is becoming less likely that
they will break up. Many consider Burma their homeland.
0 Comment. Ta Law is on the north bank of the Nam Land River which
Torms the Boundary between Kengtung and Yunnan at Mongma (N 21-35, E 99-55).
