More than 1,000 doctors have been brought in, Li Hui, an official with the Yunnan province's foreign affairs office, said on Saturday. After fighting broke out in Myanmar, China deployed forces along the border.
In Nansan, a town in Zhenkang county, some people have gone to the border every day to check on the situation. Zhou Guoqing, 48, is one of them. "I want to check my car and house. My savings were left over there," said Zhou, who is from Sichuan and has lived in Kokang for 10 years as a taxi driver. Zhou and his family left Kokang on Aug 27 to stay with friends in Nansan. In Myanmar, people also hope the clashes come to an end. A Chinese man in his 50s, who gave his surname as Ji, said he moved to Kokang six years ago from Shanghai. "There was no fighting last night and today. I went to the market but all the shops were still closed," he said. "Whoever wins, I hope order resumes here as quick as possible," Ji said Sunday. The conflict arose from confrontation between Myanmar government forces and an ethnic army in the Kokang area of Shan state. Kokang shares a border with Yunnan and has a population of about 150,000.
