The Institute for Strategy and Policy-Myanmar published its regular report on the state of the country’s conflict.

The report contained a comprehensive analysis of the overland trade between Myanmar and its neighbors.

Of the 17 official border trade stations between Myanmar , China , Thailand , Bangladesh , and Laos resistance groups now control five .

The junta has attempted to offset the loss of nearly all overland trade with China by opening a new trade route through eastern Shan State .

The new route is lengthier and considerably more costly than those in northern Shan State , according to ISP-Myanmar .

The collapse of this trade adds up to a bleak diagnosis for the SAC , which is likely to put further upward pressure on the price of basic goods.
