Myanmar calls out China for arming terror groups, asks world to help
//Myanmar, China’s closest ally in southeast Asia, has pointed fingers at Beijing for arming insurgent groups with sophisticated weapons and sought international cooperation to suppress rebel groups... Myanmar’s Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said terrorist organisations active in Myanmar are backed by ‘strong forces’
//the army chief was referring to Arakan Army (AA) and Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), terrorist organisations active in the Rakhine State in western Myanmar that borders China.
//The Myanmarese ethnic rebel groups operating along the Chinese border mostly use Chinese weapons, prompting suspicions about Beijing’s role as part of an effort to keep Myanmar under control.
//Officials say Beijing has been desperate to push the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor that seeks to give China a strategic opening on to the Bay of Bengal and eastern part of Indian Ocean Region. There has also been some concern around the Chinese loans extended to execute these projects that led to worries that Myanmar shouldn’t land in China’s debt trap.

Protest Scenes in Myanmar Recall the Fight for Freedom in Hong Kong and Thailand
On Feb 10, 2021, Myanmar civilians protested against the military junta on the fifth consecutive day. In the face of violent suppression by the police, protesters wittingly responded with a sense of humour.

Some protesters dressed up as Harry Potter, drag queens, brides and in different cosplay costumes. Creative protest slogans were also sighted: "I always hate you General," "I should be at home watching BL series, but I'm here for this shit," and "Don't fuck my country, fuck my ex" (sic.).
Meanwhile, medical workers have been on strike for one week. All walks of life, from civil servants, fire fighters, farmers, monks and engineers to bankers have joined the protests. According to the local media, at least 20 uniform police took part in a protest in Loikaw. The military junta, however, denied the claim in a statement, claiming those were civilians.
After the police had shot live rounds at the crowd on Feb 9, the protesters geared up with yellow helmets and eye goggles the next day, reminiscent of the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong and Thailand from the past two years.

UK to call for UN probe of Uighur camps in China’s Xinjiang province
The UK foreign secretary Dominic Raab would use an address to the UN human rights council on Feb 22 to urge fellow members to address rights violations in China, Myanmar, Belarus and Russia, with particular emphasis on initiating an independent investigation by the UN high commissioner for human rights into forced labour camps run by Beijing.
The UK has taken an increasingly robust stance against Beijing over the past year following the imposition of a national security law in Hong Kong, and mounting evidence that the treatment of Uighur Muslims amounts to genocide.
Raab said that the reported abuses in Xinjiang including torture, forced labour and forced sterilisation of women were extreme and extensive. They were taking place on an industrial scale

Although the military roiled a deadly crackdown on February 28 which killed 20 people and arrested over 1,200 civilians, more protesters took to the street on March 1 and March 2 to rally against the military rule.
As the military’s crackdown became increasingly violent and deadly, determined pro-democracy protesters put their names, blood type and contact details on their arms before part-taking in a rally. In the face of tear gas and gunfire, young protesters relied barely on debris, iron bars, wet towels, and plastic water bags for protection and defence.
Very few protesters were wearing proper gas masks. Construction site helmets were not able to protect them from live ammunition.
Funerals were seen in multiple places around the nation. Saddened citizens gathered to pay respect to the victims of military brutality at these funerals. They were gathered at the funerals to mourn them at places where the protester was shot and died.
The courage of young protesters and the violence of military oppression in Myanmar have recalled memories of the civil disobedience movement in Hong Kong in 2019.
A columnist of Stand News picked the news up and wrote on the paper with a hearty closing remark, “The animals in Animal Farm surrendered. But the people in Hong Kong, Thailand and Myanmar did not.

After Chinese-funded factory was arson, the Myanmar military and police enter and kill at least 39 people
Anti-China sentiment has risen in Myanmar. After a Chinese factory was attacked, police and military were sent to demonstrators’ settlement in Hlaing Tharyar district on Sunday, 14 Mar, 2021., killing at least 22 people in the poor industrial suburb.
Moreover, at least 16 demonstrators were killed in the bloody suppression in other regions and one police died in the confrontation, pushing up the death toll to 39 in one day and making it the bloodiest day since the military coup on February 1, 2021.
Burmese people are dissatisfying China for not condemning the military takeover, suspecting Beijing’s acquiescence in, or even connivance with the military coup. Days of military crackdowns have caused people to vent their anger on local Chinese companies.
There were Chinese-funded clothing factories being set on fire in Hlaing Tharyar, the China Embassy also claimed there were on duty officials being beaten, some Chinese-funded hotels were getting attacked. There was no organisation admitted the responsibility yet. The protest leader Ei Thinzar Maung said on Facebook, “If you want to do business in Myanmar stably, then respect Myanmar people.”
After some Chinese-funded companies being attacked, the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar announced a statement urging the military government to take actions, “China urges Myanmar to take further effective measures to stop all acts of violence, punish the perpetrators in accordance with the law and ensure the safety of life and property of Chinese companies and personnel in Myanmar.” But the statement did not mention anything about police brutality and military suppression. The Facebook page of the embassy got lots of negative comments in Burmese from netizens.

The military cuts off the national internet again, optical fibre fixed network also significantly slowed down. Today (2nd April) is nearly the Myanmar New Year and Songkran. But the local area did not splash water to celebrate the New Year as previous. Instead, the public filed the bus stops with flowers, using “Flower Strike” to mourn the deads who were shot and killed by the military. The candle night ceremony yesterday had many people raised to support the organisation of the anti-coup, Federal Army, using force against the military government. There were also demonstrators who burnt the Myanmar version of “Charter 08” drafted by the military.
According to Reuters, demonstrators tried to use different methods for replacing the network, including underground stations, communication platforms that do not need to be connected, SMS news, etc. There were also some demonstrators who encouraged people to use the old technology again, “listen to the underground broadcasts together and phone each other!”
The netizens posted some photos which raised three fingers with flowers on Twitter and stated that “we will never forget the heroes who died for us, and never forgive the military”.
