Weapons seized by the Indian security agencies in the region were reported to bear no markings. However, a more careful study was reported to show the weapons to be Chinese made.
China and the insurgent groups reportedly meet on the trade routes in the region which are fluid, particularly where the Myanmar and China borders meet. It cited intelligence sources as saying that in recent months, the Chinese had managed to increase the flow of funds into these groups.
