Banhong incident

The Banhong incident in 1934 was a struggle by the Republic of China against an invasion by the British in the region of Banhong ( Cangyuan , Yunnan ) in the Burmese- Chinese border area, in which the Mon Khmer population group of the Va (Wa ) was involved. The fight was mostly fought over the silver mines .

The eponymous theater of conflict, Banhong, is close to the Burmese border in the west of today's Autonomous Okrug Cangyuan the Va of the prefecture-level city Lincang in the western Chinese province of Yunnan .

The British had been conducting secret explorations for natural resources in the Cangyuan area since 1927 and began building roads in 1933. In January 1934 armed British troops occupied the silver mines. This sparked indignation among the Va. Hu Yushan , the leader of the Banhong region, called the neighboring tribes to a gathering in Banhong. Three Va armies were set up to fight the British invaders. On February 8, the Va forces managed to stop the British at the Nanyi River . Three days later, the British burned over ten Va villages, causing even greater indignation among the local population. Volunteer troops were organized to drive the British invaders out of the Banhong region.

Both sides later negotiated to settle the conflict. As the incident of the expulsion of British invaders was cited by the Va population group (particularly from the Banhong and Banlao tribes) - which had enjoyed a high degree of autonomy since the time of the Qing Dynasty (Schram) - and took place in Banhong and surrounding regions , it is known as the "Banhong Incident".

An "alliance treaty stele" in memory of the resistance of the people of Banhong against the British has been on the list of monuments in Yunnan Province since 1993 .
