Although pieces of news dated 18th November saying leader of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) has been arrested by the Chinese government has emerged, some people are asking questions whether he has been really arrested.
As the Kokang is part of China, the news might not correct because according to the nature of Chinese people, they wouldn't hurt one another, chairman of the PNLO-NCA/S, an NCA signatory, Col. Khun Okkar told CNI News.
" I don't think the news is not right because Kokang also is Chinese. China had to give the Kokang region to the British after the British captured Myanmar. The Kokang region was part of China in a row. China possibly called and discussed with Peng Daxun. That China has detained him is impossible, I think because to the best of my knowledge, Chinese people don't hurt one another kind of. It's less likely to happen so. They are possibly negotiating." he said.

Chines Special Envoy Deng Xijun said that four influential families from Laukkai were damaged because they went against China, from which Feng family should take a lesson during his meeting with some leaders of the United Wa State Army (UWSA) in August 2024.
Moreover, the Kokang region could exist without Feng family and China had to impose five embargoes on the family, he said.
Peng Daxun is son of Feng Jiaxing who built the MNDAA and he left for China to discuss with Chinese Special Envoy in October and he has not get back from China up to now. After that, the news came out of that he has been under house arrest.
Peng Daxun had been receiving medical treatment in China since October and Chinese government was performing for his security, which people possibly thought that he had been arrested, a China-based Myanmar-China affairs commentator, Dr. Hla Kyaw Zaw told CNI News.

" What I heard is like this. He's getting older quite a bit. He's over 60. Because he was worn out in his work, he came to China to make a medical check-up. When I asked my acquaintances close to him about it, they told me he's in hospital. When leaders from the organizations in the border areas are hospitalized, the China side tend to perform the security for them." she said.
However, those close to the MNDAA and Chinese diplomatic circles said that Peng Daxun had been arrested was right.
During Operation-1027, the MNDAA captured nine towns including Chin Shwe Haw, Laukkai, Kon Kyan and Mongko where China-Myanmar border trade posts are located as well as Lashio where the Northeast Command of the SAC is located.
The China side is putting pressure on the MNDAA to stop waging battles in northern Shan State and China has cut out the flow of goods in the border areas since the last month and is demanding the MNDAA to retreat from Lashio.
