Burma / Myanmar: Thakin Soe (1905-1989), Red Flag Communist leader at the 1963 peace talks, Communist Party of Burma (CPB).

Thakin Soe split with the main Communist party of Burma in August 1946 and set up the Communist Party (Red Flag). The Communist Party of Burma (Burmese: ?????????????????????; CPB) is the oldest existing political party in Burma. The party is unrecognised by the Burmese authorities, rendering it illegal; so it operates in a clandestine manner, often associating with insurgent armies along the border of People's Republic of China. It is often referred to as the Burma Communist Party (BCP) by both the Burmese government and the foreign media.
