Burmese people broke the news that they picked up a tear gas canister showing simplified Chinese in Yangon’s Three Bridges district.
The coup occurred in Myanmar on February 1, local people took to the streets every day to protest for the release of the arrested substantive leader Aung San Suu Kyi, the result was violent suppression by the military and police, so far at least 21 people are known to have died. A few days ago, a local people broke the news that he picked up a tear gas canister in the street, but was surprised to see simplified Chinese.
The military government has charged Aung San Suu Kyi, 75, with three counts of violating the country’s import and export laws by finding an illegally held radio walkie-talkie in her Home; the second count of violating the country’s natural disaster management law during the Epidemic; and the third count of violating Burma’s colonial-era criminal code, which explicitly prohibited her from “publishing messages that might ’cause fear or alarm’ and disturb ‘public peace.
The news of Aung San Suu Kyi’s arrest by the military government has sparked outrage among the Burmese people, with many taking to the streets in protest, and the massive protests in Yangon have not stopped so far.
The military government has escalated its crackdown on the protesters.
According to the UN Human Rights Office, 18 people were killed and more than 30 injured by security forces this past Sunday. Burmese authorities also arrested more than 1,000 people over the weekend, including at least seven journalists, according to the Political Prisoners Assistance Association. Associated Press reporter Thein Zaw was among them. At least 20 journalists have been arrested in Burma since the military coup.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the use of lethal force and arbitrary arrests of peaceful protesters was “unacceptable. The U.K. and the U.S. have issued similar statements condemning the violent crackdown by the Burmese military government.
However, as the controversy continues, some Burmese people tweeted that they found a tear gas canister fired by the military government during a protest in Yangon’s Sanchaung Township on March 2, and that the brightness and burning Time of the ammunition could be clearly seen in simplified Chinese because the writing on the outside of the canister had not been melted by the high temperature. This incident has left the Burmese public quite shocked.
It is worth mentioning that when the military coup broke out in Myanmar, many public opinion pointed out that the military government was backed by the Chinese Communist Party. At this time, a Chinese man surnamed Liu, who is a businessman in Yangon, posted an article in support of the military coup on social media platforms, and also criticized the protesting people in Hong Kong, which resulted in a suspected flesh search by local Chinese.
According to the Internet rumor, the man alleged that “more and more intense, I hope the high pressure will have an effect”, “do you want to eat? Do you want to work? These motherfuckers are like Hong Kong, every day behind the scenes to promote, after a wreck, you Maine people go eat shit to go, the pursuit of your freedom, freedom to go to hell.” As a result, they were beaten up by local Chinese after a meat search.
A Chinese businessman in Myanmar posted an article supporting the military coup while criticizing the Hong Kong people for resisting.
It is ironic that the Chinese government has been promoting “patriotism” in a high profile manner, but in both the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic and the Myanmar crisis, the Chinese government has no intention of allowing Chinese citizens in danger to return to their home countries, but instead has imposed even harsher rules to prevent people from returning to their home countries to escape the danger.
