What did the declassified documents reveal?

Declassified. Today, we present a declassified Central Intelligence Agency Intelligence Bulletin from June fifth, nineteen fifty-one, detailing a Burmese report of Taiwanese troops entering Yunnan province. This document is archived at documents2.theblackvault.com. This document was released by the Central Intelligence Agency under declassification authority, though a specific F-O-I-A case number is not listed. Its declassification was completed on September twenty-sixth, two thousand and three, as part of a review process. The document, titled "Current Intelligence Bulletin," is marked "Top Secret" and contains the following intelligence report under the section "Far East": "Burmese report entry of Chinese Nationalist troops into Yunnan: The Burmese Foreign Minister on one June informed U-S Ambassador Key that latest reports indicate that approximately five thousand Chinese Nationalist troops have crossed the Sino-Burmese border into Yunnan. The Foreign Minister also stated that a considerable number remain in Kengtung State (in eastern Burma), and indications are that they are still being supplied from Thailand. [one line redacted under exemption two-five X one-A]" An editorial summary published by The Black Vault states that this document is United States intelligence on China, specifically a Burmese report concerning Taiwanese troops' entry into Yunnan Province, attached to a cover page that was originally marked "Top Secret Code Word Excised, Intelligence Bulletin." This is what the public record looks like at its most ordinary.
