Myanmar 's military government and a major northeastern ethnic rebel group agreed to a ceasefire this month in the Chinese border city of Kunming .

The agreement between the incumbent junta and the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) took effect on January 18 .

China shares a 2,000km ( 1,242-mile ) border with Myanmar , and shares close ties with the junta.
