The Myanmar civil war has been raging on for over three years now. Over 50,000 people have been killed, including 8,000 civilians, as the military junta that took over fights a multitude of militias. Recently, an important area along the Thai-Myanmar border changed hands.
The Globe’s Asia Correspondent, James Griffiths, travelled there and explains how resistance forces have gained so much ground, what happens now that the military junta doesn’t control the border and how China is involved.
