In the late 18th, the military operation of Qing Dynasty in the Kachin indirectly led the Chinese into Mogaung for mining and trading the jade bit by bit. During 1856 and 1873, the Panthay Rebellion forced the Chinese went more deeply to Uyu River. Then here comes the agreement between China and Great Britain over the boundaries and trade issue of Myanmar in 1894, the railway to Myitkyina which was built in 1898, and the port of Tengyue opening in 1902, great amount of Chinese went to Uyu River mining jade.
