Myanmar, 1989 to 2026. To buy peace the army let armed allies keep their guns and trades, then made some of them its border guards. In Kokang, families wearing the state's uniforms rented buildings to fraud financiers until China's police ended them; on the Moei River, land held by an army-allied Karen militia became the scam city of Shwe Kokko. From opium warlords to jade, methamphetamine and the army's companies, it follows the money and names the gaps the protectors escaped through. Covers Saw Chit Thu and the Karen National Army, She Zhijiang and Yatai International Holdings Group, the Ming and Bai families of Kokang, Wei Hsueh-kang and the United Wa State Army, Lo Hsing Han and Asia World, and Min Aung Hlaing and Myanma Economic Holdings Limited.
