Burmese Residents Pour into China
(NTDTV)
Thousands of people from Kokang in Burma’s Shan State have crossed the border this month after clashes there.
A U.S.-based rights group says the exodus followed the deployment of troops in the area.
Pictures taken on Tuesday the 25th show people carrying their belongings across the border.
Kokang is home to many ethnic Chinese and Chinese nationals, many of whom run businesses and trade across the border.
Earlier Chinese reports said that close to 10,000 people have crossed into Yunnan Province to escape the fighting.
Burma’s military junta looks to Beijing as a crucial source of investment as well as one of its few diplomatic backers.
