This is interesting because Karen Border Guard are supposedly the ones who have protected and benefited from the Chinese-run scam centers in Myawaddy.

They were initially "neutral" in the conflict, then sided with the Junta resulting in Karen rebels relinquishing the control of Myawaddy. Now they are doing the work that China has ordered Junta to do but wouldn't until operation1027 started - eradicate scam centers.
