		Organized by retired Army Air Forces Col. Claire L. Chennault, with the approval of both the Chinese and American governments, the AVG was preparing to provide air support to the Chinese Army against the Japanese in China.

		Meanwhile in northern Burma, the Northern Combat Area Command and the Chinese Expeditionary Force, after reopening the land route between India and China, were to advance through Lashio on to Mandalay by mid-February, the peak of the dry season.

	Christians Concerned for Burma
		Burma is a failed state under the rule of one of the world's most repressive regimes.
		Burma is not only a regional human rights and democracy problem, it also presents a regional and global security threat by its production of narcotics and its allowance of the expansion of the People's Republic of China's influence, power, and military assistance into Burma.
		Direct access to the Indian Ocean, signal and intelligence facilities in Burma, and the ability to rapidly project power in SE Asia, seems to be some of the objectives of China's involvement in Burma.

	The Burma Project -Burma Debate-
		While the output from these factories was probably able to satisfy the Burma Army's basic needs before 1988, it does not appear to have been enough for the new generation of military leaders [that] came to power that year.
		Singapore is secretly assisting Burma in other areas of arms manufacture, for example in the production of a new family of infantry weapons, but claims that it is also helping to produce landmines in Burma cannot be substantiated.
		Ever since Burma began manufacturing its own munitions, it has tended to use designations based on set prefixes, (such as BA for 'Burma Army' and MA for 'Myanmar Army') and a number - sometimes related to the date of the first manufacture.
