Since 2021 the Burmese Communist Party has re-armed and re-entered Burma both from across the border of China and by re-activating sympathetic Communists in the All Burma Federation of Student Unions (a process that started in 2017).
With the start of the civil war, they re-activated and are fighting in an alliance with the People's Defence Forces against the Tatmadaw.
The BCP/PLA follows the principles of Maoism. At the start they had ~1,000 soldiers under their command. Now it is said to be 3,000. They have a presence across most of northern Myanmar (Pale Township, Kan Duak, some areas near the capital, Mandalay, Shan State, Sagaing, Magway and Tanintharyi regions).
None of the territory appears to be governed by the BCP, they collect taxes but as of now have not yet formed liberated zones with their own socialist governance.
Please post any discussion or notes about PLA in Burma here.

>>2579284Niko is a follower of Lin Biao and a servant of the Great Proletarian Culture. Niko is a supproter of the Burmese Communist Party
Are these the ones that uphold Xi Jinping thought or is that another one
>>2579290That's the MNDAA.
PLA isn't hostile to China though (after all, they were hosted on the Chinese border during their exile)
>>2579291> they were hosted on the Chinese border during their exileOfficially? Proofs? That would really shut the "China isn't helping the international left" crowd.
