The year 2020 so far has seized a total of 423 illegal weapons, including AK-47s, M-16s and Chinese pistols from the northeastern states of India. Various Intelligence agencies complains that China is supplying arms and ammunition to insurgent groups on the Myanmar border. "Prominent insurgent groups, especially those from Assam, Manipur, Nagaland and Mizoram, maintain regular contact with Chinese intelligence agencies and have benefited from Chinese largesse and weapons," the agencies alerted the government.
The intelligence agencies have pointed out that training of insurgent groups in the northeast, provisioning of arms and ammunition and harbouring exiled militants and leaders have been recurrent facets of China's 'diplo-terrorism' against India. The location of Myanmar lies at a very strategically important point.The country provides an alternate land bridge to the trade routes of the Indian Ocean, easing the pressure on the Malacca Straits and is a trove of natural resources to fuel the growth of the landlocked Yunnan Province.
A large consignment of Chinese made weapons of a total value of approximately $1 million was seized in Mae Sot district on the Thai side of the Myanmar-Thailand border. Every year, the large amount of Chinese weapon seizure happens in Myanmar. However, China denies the complaints on indirect security threat.
