The Kuomintang in Burma, also known as the Thai-Burmese Lone Army (Chinese: 泰緬孤軍; pinyin: Tàimiǎn gū jūn; Wade–Giles: T‘ai4-mien3 ku1 chün1) or Kuomintang in the Golden Triangle, which was officially known as the Yunnan Anti-Communist National Salvation Army (Chinese: 雲南反共救國軍; pinyin: Yúnnán fǎngòng jìuguó jūn; Wade–Giles: Yün2-nan3 Fan3-kung4 Chiu4-kuo2 Chün1) and prior to that the Republic of China Army 93rd Division (Chinese: 中華民國陸軍第九十三師; pinyin: Zhōnghuá mínguó dìjiǔshísān shī; Wade–Giles: Chung1-hua2 min2-kuo2 ti4-chiu3-shih2-san1 shih1) were troops of the Republic of China Army loyal to the Kuomintang (KMT) that fled from China to Burma in 1950 after their defeat by the Chinese communists in the Chinese Civil War. They were commanded by Lieutenant-General Li Mi and, over the course of their existence, attempted several incursions into Yunnan in the early 1950s, only to be pushed back into Burma each time by the People's Liberation Army.
