  • The operation 1027 was started with Chinese blessings. It was stopped with Chinese intervention. It has now resumed again likely with Chinese blessings. This operation declared 6 objectives at the start : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_1027 which oddly included eradication of online scam centers and gambling dens on Chinese border. It’s not so odd when this was known to be an irritant to the Chinese and Junta had done nothing about them despite Chinese requests.

    After the ceasefire, the Myanmar Junta was seen carrying out arrests and deportation of gambling and online extortion fraud bosses to China. What are the Chinese objectives this time? Are the Chinese not satisfied with the action taken against online fraud? Is this meant to help Arakan Army make further gains in the west by drawing Junta’s resources away from there? Arakan Army has surrounded the key strategic Chinese project in Arakan - the deep sea port project that will link southwestern China to Indian Ocean providing a much shorter route to Africa, Middle East, Indian and European markets. It’s also meant to create a second “shore” in the less developed more impoverished areas of China. China is playing both sides here. Who do they trust more?










  • I don’t think Giddey straight up is a bad deal for Bulls at all. Caruso is a good role player. Strong defensive guard. Giddey is a tall point guard who is a match up problem with more upside. Bulls have a PG in Ball also. I’m guessing Bulls don’t think Ball is going to be durable EVER in his career. But if he’s available, he and Giddey will play backcourt similar to what OKC had. That’s their future backcourt, which when healthy is not bad.
