A Chinese court on Tuesday sentenced a former Myanmar Kokang leader and lawmaker of the military-proxy Union Solidarity and Development Party, Bai Suocheng, his son Bai Yingcang and three others to death for their long-term involvement in fraud operations in northern Myanmar.

[Kokang are ethnic Han Chinese who fled Manchurian invasion to Burma in 17th century. They are represented by ethnic army MNDAA, an off-shoot of Chinese-formed Communist Party of Burma.]
