China's military has intensified security measures near the Myanmar border as conflicts between Myanmar's ruling junta and rebel forces escalate. The People's Liberation Army has deployed army units and organized joint air-ground police patrols to ensure stability and safety in the region.

The patrols are concentrated on pivotal areas such as Ruili and Zhenkang. The Southern Theater of the People's Liberation Army aims to assess troops' readiness to swiftly mobilize, control, and strike while upholding security in these strategic border locations, a military statement confirmed.

The need for enhanced security measures follows China's recent announcement of more drills in the region due to the conflict's negative impact on the stability and social order along the China-Myanmar border. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reaffirmed China's commitment to restoring peace and stability in Myanmar.
