A Myanmar policeman uses his mobile phone as he patrols a street in Namteuk, neighbouring China's border town of Mangka, in Myanmar's Wa State September 3, 2009. Myanmar's assault on rebel militias on its remote border appears aimed at herding them into next year's election process, even if it comes at the cost of vital ties with its powerful northern neighbour, China.
