Rebel organizations operate in the mountainous regions, and China has exploited discontent among the hill people as an inexpensive way of making mischief for the Rangoon government. Ne Win himself earlier this month admitted that his army had lost 133 men during the first eight months of this year in skirmishes provoked, he said, by "Burmese Communists."
