China’s military carried out drills along the border with Myanmar on Tuesday, state news agency Xinhua said, following clashes between Myanmar security forces and ethnic rebels.
Fighting this month in Myanmar pushed thousands of people into China to seek refuge, prompting Beijing to call for a ceasefire between ethnic militias and the security forces. Xinhua said the joint land and air exercises were part of planned annual drills, but did not say exactly where they took place. In accordance with existing agreements, China informed Myanmar’s military ahead of the drills, it added.
