Burmese people, protesting against the junta’s coup, are still expanding. Many people, opposed to the Chinese Communist Party‘s backing of the junta, have come to the China-Myanmar border to demonstrate and call for a boycott of Chinese goods, and local Chinese-owned enterprises have been besieged. Although the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has come out to dispel rumors, the effect has been limited.
A video shows that at the Ruili-Muzizi border crossing on the China-Myanmar border, Burmese people questioned that the Chinese Communist Party was behind the military government and went to demonstrate, with some throwing bottles of wine across the border to vent their anger and Chinese public security officers returning fire with bricks.
For the first Time in Myanmar, a protester against the military coup died on February 19, local time. The victim was 20-year-old Myo Twe Twe Kyi, who died ten days later in hospital after being shot in the head by a police officer during a protest in Nay Pyi Taw on February 9. Family members were devastated and people set up altars on the road.
According to Radio Free Asia, the Chinese Communist Party is accused of supporting a coup by the Burmese military, and angry people are pointing the finger at local Chinese businesses. Mr. Chen, a garment manufacturer in Myanmar, said that since the morning of the 17th, the garment industrial park located in Yangon’s Shwe Pyida township, invested by state-owned Jiangsu Guotai, has been besieged by Myanmar workers. The factory was asked to take paid leave and let them take to the streets to protest.
A former official media reporter confirmed that the Chinese Ministry of Propaganda has banned the media from reporting on the siege of the Chinese-invested enterprise.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying claimed that claims that China was behind the move were rumors and called on the Myanmar side to take protective measures. Hua Chunying’s talk indirectly confirms that Chinese companies and citizens are facing security problems there.
Internet watcher Gu He: “The local anti-China sentiment in Myanmar shows that the Burmese people know very well that the operator behind this military coup in Myanmar is the Chinese Communist Party, so they launched a campaign to boycott Chinese products to fight back against the Chinese Communist Party’s instigation and interference behind the scenes.”
According to constitutional scholar Chen Yongmiao, the boycott of Chinese products is actually aimed at the CCP.
Constitutional scholar Chen Yongmiao: “Judging from the attacks on China in Myanmar in this regard, the Chinese Communist Party’s official propaganda of foreign relations, especially in Asia, is actually not as good as imagined; he appears to be acting as if he is getting along well with the leaders of various countries, but in fact there are great conflicts with the people of various countries.”
In recent weeks, people have been protesting in front of the Chinese consulate almost every day, and local anti-China sentiment is still heating up.
