Change log entry 72030
Processed by: richwarm (2021-04-03 02:38:46 UTC)
Comment: Changes:
brethren --> brethren on the other side of the border
Chinese-Burmese friendship --> China-Myanmar friendship
siblings --> close kin


Notes:
1) 胞波 : 中缅居民对另一方的称呼。
https://zh.wiktionary.org/zh/%E8%83%9E%E6%B3%A2
(So it's a term used by both sides, I guess, not just by the people of Myanmar in speaking of the Chinese, as ABC, for example, suggests.)


2) Burmese: ပေါက်ဖော် (... BGN/PCGN: paukhpaw ...)
a) sibling, close kin
b) intimate and affectionate term conferred to the Chinese by the Myanmar people
