Yes, Yaba is smuggled to my country from Burma. But, no link with AA has been established by any organizations. BD security forces have already captured or killed a few hundred local smugglers so far although the trade has not abated.AA is not supported by China, please do a bit of research or you will embarrass yourself.
A common misconception is they are supported by BD. That is not true either. In any case, BD will likely to help MM military.
So how is AA funded? Simple, DRUGS.

They use Rohyinga refugees to smuggle Meth into Bangladesh. That is why Meth use in Bangladesh rose up by 2500%.
In my opinion, that is why AA doesn't alienate Rohingya because AA needs them as Drug Mules.

P.S all my facts have cited from reliable sources.
If the supplier is AA, then why not the Burmese military stop it at the border? Contrary to your assertion, the smuggling may be encouraged by the military itself and not the AA.
