Due to the notorious reputation of the Chinese Communist Party, more than 20 Chinese enterprises were hit when another anti-junta demonstration took place in Myanmar on March 14. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China and its representative office in Burma suggested on March 15 that Taiwanese businesses could label themselves as “Taiwan enterprises” and fly the flag of the Republic of China to prevent them from being considered Chinese enterprises again.
On March 14, the bloodiest day since the February 1 coup by the Burmese military, a Taiwanese-owned company was also mistaken as a Chinese company by the protesters and was attacked.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China spokesman Ou Jiang’an advised Taiwanese businesses in Myanmar to “pay high attention to their own safety, to mark outside the factory with Burmese articles as a ‘Taiwan enterprise’ and to hang the Republic of China flag; and to explain to local employees and nearby residents that it is a factory in Taiwan to avoid confusion and misjudgment by outsiders. “
The Republic of China Legislative Yuan Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee officials said on the 15th, there are currently about 1,000 Taiwanese businessmen in Myanmar, in this protest in Myanmar, some Taiwanese enterprises are also affected, sometimes unable to work on Time. While Taiwan-funded banks based in Myanmar opened can still operate normally.
More than 20 Chinese enterprises in Myanmar are affected by the notorious Chinese Communist Party
On March 14, at least 22 protesters were killed by Burmese security forces and at least 39 people were killed across the country in the Ledaya district of Yangon, Burma’s largest city, in what eyewitnesses described as a war zone.
Angry protesters have questioned the Chinese Communist Party’s funding of the Burmese military’s atrocities, providing supplies to the Burmese military including technology to disconnect the Internet, and as a result, local Chinese companies have been hit. On March 14, more than 20 Burmese Chinese companies were damaged, mainly garment processing factories, garment accessory factories and ancillary equipment factories, and a Taiwanese factory was also affected.
A report published in February by the Burmese citizens’ group Justice For Myanmar alleged that a number of Chinese companies, including NORINCO, AVIC, CASC, CASC, CASIC, CASIC, CASIC, and CASIC, were damaged on March 14. CASIC), and China Aviation Technology Import and Export Corporation (CATIC), are the five largest suppliers of arms to the Burmese military.
The report also shows that Chinese Communist Party companies in Burma are also inextricably linked to the Burmese military.
The 770-kilometer China-Myanmar Crude Oil pipeline, which brings Middle Eastern crude oil to the mainland and was officially opened in 2017, has also become a target of protesters’ anger as the Communist Party’s “One Belt, One Road” enters Myanmar. In a tweet, one user wrote: “China (Republic of), if you still think what is happening in Myanmar today is an internal affair, then blowing up the gas pipeline line that runs through Myanmar is also our internal affair.”
On March 12, local media reports indicated that local people wanted to “blow up the Chinese oil and gas pipeline” to force Chinese companies out of Myanmar.
For example, in 2014, when Vietnamese people protested against the Chinese Communist Party’s claim to sovereignty in the South China Sea and the resulting oil exploration in the South China Sea, not only were Chinese companies damaged, but some Taiwanese businesses were also affected.
