China Warns That It Will Take 'Decisive' Steps If Myanmar Repeats Raid That Killed 5 Chinese Farmers



Wall Street Journal: China Deploys Forces to Myanmar Border After Bombing

Four Chinese are killed as violence in Myanmar spills over border.

BEIJING—Beijing sent forces to patrol its southwestern border with Myanmar after a bomb killed four Chinese citizens in an area where violence between Burmese rebel groups and troops has spread and strained ties with China.

On Sunday, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang expressed Beijing’s dismay at the fighting that has sent hundreds fleeing across China’s border. Mr. Li called Friday’s bombing “deeply distressing” and said China would take measures to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens living near the area.

“We have the responsibility and the capacity to firmly safeguard stability in the border areas between the two countries and protect the life and property of our people,” Mr. Li said during a nationally televised news conference.
