Recent developments and changes of the Kachin Allied Forces:
First, Shuiqinghe and Gelong districts have been merged. After that, the Gelong district no longer exists and is directly incorporated into the Shuiqinghe district. This means a Gelong area outside the Kachin region is directly integrated into the internal part of the Kachin region, making it impossible for the Burmese military government to reclaim the Gelong district, which will be completely disappeared. Therefore, in the future, there will be no Gelong district, and this place will all be the Shuiqinghe district, with no possibility of change.
Second, the negotiation over the ownership of Mubang County has broken down. The Burmese military threatened to launch an attack, but the Kachin forces are not intimidated at all. The Burmese military cannot advance, as there is still some distance from Lashio to Mubang County. Even if the Burmese military has deployed a large number of troops, they can't overcome the resistance, and the most they can do is strategic deterrence.
Third, the Kachin region hopes that students within its jurisdiction do not immediately drop out after completing junior high school. Those with conditions should continue to attend senior high school. No. 1 High School of Kachin and some high schools in Yunnan Province will admit students from the Kachin region. As long as their academic performance is qualified and they have no bad records, they can go to school.
Fourth, the Kachin region has experienced continuous heavy rain, and many areas have been flooded, with only the rooftops of houses visible. There have been casualties in the Kachin region, but later all the people living in low-lying areas were relocated to higher ground, thus avoiding this crisis. However, a large amount of property loss is unavoidable.
Fifth, the Kachin region continues to dig up new wastelands and plant various cash crops, encouraging the people to be self-reliant.
In general, after seeing the fact that the Taunggyi Army has been continuously defeated, the Kachin Allied Forces did not participate in the fighting, and rejected the accusation by the Burmese military about participating in the fighting. That is, the Kachin forces have not changed their equipment to join the fighting, nor have they expanded their territory. Now, the Kachin forces just want to thoroughly develop the economy and no longer participate in the internal war of Myanmar.
