Bitter Revenge
Two men “suspected Muslim terrorist” rammed a dump truck into a group of jogging policemen and then and then tossed explosives into their barracks on August 2008, killing 16 officers and wounding others in China’s restive Central Asian border province.
The attack in Xiaoping province came just four days before the opening Beijing Olympics, an event that has put security forces nationwide on alert and that Muslim group has vowed to disrupt.
The local police called it a “suspected terrorist attack.”
The 2 attackers were captured, one was injured in the leg.
The attack was one of the deadliest and most brazen in recent years in Xiaoping province, where Muslims have waged a sporadically violent rebellion against Chinese rule.

Dangerous Drug Gang of Chinese Triads
In the early 1800s the British East India Company’s imports of Chinese tea, rare silk and Eastern spices were of far greater value than England’s coarse exports to China.
To balance this trade deficit and open up more ports to British merchants, England smuggled Turkish
and Indian opium into China, ignoring a Chinese ban on the drug.
As tea imports into England rose, so did opium imports into China.
Eventually the Americans involved in this lucrative trade,and in the 1950s the lead of one of the largest smuggling companies was Franklin D.Roosevelt’s grandfather Warren Delano II.
Near the end of the 19th century ethnic Chinese Triads,which started in the 17th century as an underground network of patriotic citizens who opposed the conquering Manchus from Mongolia, derived their name from a Chinese concept that identifies the the three sides of an equilateral triangle with man, heaven and earth.
Their members were involved in various failed revolutions over the centuries,and most triads slowly evolved into convenient vehicles for thinly veiled thuggery.
The Triads attracted adventurers who found the upward path blocked in normal society.
By the 20th century their main resources and activity were the heroin trade, extortion, gambling and prostitution.
Members held meetings, not to resolve political problems but to assign assassination jobs to Red Poles, as their hit men were called.
From the very beginning China’s most powerful triad members, the Chiu Chao, helped facilitate the opium trade.
The Chiu Chao were a seagoing people from southern China who migrated to many Southeast Asian countries.
In time, the Chiu Chao dominated smuggling and opium traffic along the China coast.
When Westerners imagined wicked Chinese pirates smuggling gold bars, drugs and frightened maidens,and lurking in the dark recesses of the Spice Islands, they were picturing the Chiu Chao Kingpins heading major banks in the region control the international narcotics trade from the Golden
Triangle of Indochina through Bangkok.

The reason that Khun Sa has lost army
Fa Lung (Chang Shi Swen), the military in chief and powerful commander in the MTA.
Khun Seng is financial contrller and major management in drugs trading business while Khun Sa himself playing in Political role which is apparently illusive movement of the opium warlord.
All of these men are the ruthless.
There had been many internal management problems since the joined hands merged and the Shan army commanders of the TRA who against the Chinese’s leading unfair policy were fatally killed by gunshot. The killing mostly conducted in the fightings betwen TRA and Burmese, between Wa and TRA,between TRA and Lahu force.
The numerous balltles broke out across the south and east of the Shan State.
The kill behind motive is to root up the hero Shan fighters and real Nationalists struggling for the Freedom as to approve the good relationships between Burmese Government and Khun Sa.
The Shans have lost their lives with meaningless.
However, the drug business of Khun Sa is gainful as he had high aspirations.
In 1987 to 1993 opium production in the Shan State alone is 750 tonns annually and the region is responsible for roughly 50 tonns of heroin.
The whole-sale value of the drug would then be well over US 2 billion dollar.
Therefore, Khun Sa is able to collect well arms and thousands of ammunition and highly powerful equipments for military operation which have been stimulate him to extend influence along the Thai border linking to borders of Lao and China by built strong bases.
Khun Sa has achived his strong will and is smart to build his own empire with hardship of struggle.
But his wrong doing of killing the Shan comrades make him to lose his empire promptly when the patriotic Shan soldiers recuperate and resurrect their forces from the joit-force MTA after being the death of More Haing.

Opium wars have devastated the Shan State
It must be remembered that Shan are not the genesis of the heroin problem. It was the exploited cultivation and passed laws to protect distribution of opium that addicted East Asia. During the french Indochina era drugs continued to be used for political and commercial advantage by fereign interests. The America CIA Colonel Edward G. Lansdale reported in July 1953 to his superiors in Washington, D.C. that the Fresh military had bught up the entire ‘53 opium harvest on oders of the French commander –in — Cheif, General Raoul Salan. The opium was flown to Saigon for sale and export. Through the U.S. war in Vienam, heroin prodution was accelerated to help finance CIA mercenary expansion campaigns in Laos and Cambodia. It was further used to destroy the will of the American people at home and on the battle fields. Today the operation remains the same, only a few of the names have changed as people have died or been promoted. After the Communist takeover in 1975, the CIA stockpiled weapons in Thailand and the Philippies to continue operation in Southeast Asia. Heroin provides the means. Officials arrange the laundry of funds through international banks. Mafia contacts handle worldwide distributil.
The DEA believed that most of the heroin smuggled into US came in small quantities. Then they began to single seizures of up to 380 kilogram, and acknowledged that Southeast Asian heroin traffickers, dominated by ethnic Chinese, are smuggling increasingly large amounts by commercial ships, air freight and international mail.
The Chinese gangs known as “triads”. Since 1970, the traids served as the suppliers in the Mafia’ s heroin network. They, along with various ethnic Chinese smuggling group, move the bulk of the Golden Triangle heroin through Thailand, Lao, Shan land and mainland China to its ultimate destination; The United State Gen. Khun Sa is the triad’s best source.
