๐๐ 5. Covert Protest in Lashio Opposing Chinese Government’s Meddling and Calling for MNDAA to Hold Ground

Radio NUG
In Lashio, Northern Shan State, a clandestine protest was staged against China’s intervention and in support of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) maintaining its position rather than retreating. On the night of March 20, at 9 PM, protestors posted leaflets and photographs throughout the city, urging China to cease its interference and calling for MNDAA not to withdraw.
The protest was organized discreetly through community networks, with posters placed at Liberty Park, the Airport Roadside, in front of Battalion 626, the Township Administrative Office, Basic Education High School No. 8, Ward 5, festival sites, and near Lashio University’s streetlights and electricity poles.
A protest leader stated:
"We heard that on the 22nd, another meeting is planned between Kokang (MNDAA) and the SAC under China's mediation. China’s interference doesn’t just impact Lashio residents—it affects all ethnic armed groups nationwide. It sows division among our brothers who are resisting the junta. China is failing as a good neighbor and disregarding the people of Myanmar. They take whatever they want from us but ignore our suffering. We strongly demand that they stop exerting pressure on us and refrain from meddling in Myanmar’s affairs. Locals in Lashio no longer wish to live under the military junta’s rule. Under MNDAA’s administration, we feel free and unafraid, which is why the people of Lashio want them to stay."
