Subject: Chinese arms sales at friendship prices

Chinese communist government Li Peng has supplied 
military hardware to Slorc in order to defeat the ethnic nationalities 
and the democratic forces:

Sino-Burmese Pact ( Far Eastern Economic Review / Jan. 30,1997 )

China and Burma have signed an agreement to strengthen military 
cooperation. China will train 300 burmese air force and navy officers 
in flying skills, naval duties and signal intelligence in coastal areas. 
The People's liberation army will provide additional places in staff 
colleges for senior burmese officers. The two sides will exchange 
intelligence on threats to their respective countries, and Beijing will 
provide " fiscal assistance " to the Rangoon regime, which could mean 
arms shipments at " friendship prices ". 
The agreement was reached when Burma's army chief and vice-chairman 
of its ruling State Law and Order Restoration Council, Gen. Maung Aye, 
paid an unpublicized visit to China during October 22-29. 
According to unconfirmed reports, Slorc Chairman Gen. Than Shwe 
finalized the agreement with Chinese Premier Li Peng a few weeks ago.
End.

The result of the above Chinese-Slorc "friendship" can be clearly seen now 
at the Burma border, where thousands of refugees are fleeing to Thailand daily.
The Burmese people will never forget the Chinese " friendship ".
