However, when the Qing government rejected them, they petitioned the British to recognize Pianma under British domain.[1] The British accepted their request,[1] tried to induce Tusi to switch allegiance from Qing Dynasty to British Crown and deployed troops to occupy the region.[2] Britain subsequently forced emerging Republican China (ROC) to give up another portion of territory, Jiangxinpo, in what is now Northern Kachin state of Burma in 1926–27,[2] as well as some part of the Wa states in 1940.[2]
