Illicit drugs Myanmar is the world's second largest producer of illicit opium, after Afghanistan (potential production in 1999 - 1,090 metric tons, down 38% due to drought; cultivation in 1999 - 895 km³, a 31% decline from 1998); surrender of drug warlord KHUN SA's Mong Tai Army in January 1996 was hailed by Yangon as a major counternarcotics success, but lack of government will and ability to take on major narcotrafficking groups and lack of serious commitment against money laundering continues to hinder the overall antidrug effort; Myanmar is becoming a major source of methamphetamines for regional consumption.

Chinese Ties The People's Republic of China withdrew support for the long running insurgency of the Communist Party of Burma in 1986. They subsequently switched sides and began supplying the military junta with the majority of its arms in exchange for increased access to Burmese markets and a navy base on Coco Island in the Andaman Sea. The influx of Chinese arms turned the tide in Burma against the ethnic insurgencies, many of which had relied indirectly on Chinese complicity. As a result the military junta of Burma is highly reliant on the Chinese for their currently high level of power.
