In the wake of the sudden riot in Myitkyina, Mao Ting said that the police's attention was all on the opposing big shots and their gathered subordinates, leaving them unable to handle what the "others" were doing.
However, in reality, after detecting today that all powers might react aggressively, the police advanced their plans and called in three police mobile units from the province to rush to Myitkyina in the afternoon.
Despite the outbreak of the riot, the police were still short-handed under conditions of multitasking, unable to curb the riot in time. But Myitkyina's official decision was very timely, immediately mobilizing several armed police battle groups (equivalent to armed police) to enter the city, and the nearby garrison was also ready to maintain order at any time.
