Burmese Americans demonstrate outside the Chinese embassy in the US against Beijing's policies towards Myanmar

Narinjara News, 12 October 2024

On October 10, a group of American Burmese expatriates protested in front of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC, calling for a change in the Chinese government's stance on Myanmar.

One of the protesters, U Yin Aye, stated, "We are protesting to demand that China stop backing the military dictatorship."

In addition, the demonstrators demanded that China modify its stance towards the country, after Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Myanmar in August.

 Beijing put pressure on ethnic armed groups along the China-Myanmar border, pressuring them to stop their offensives against the military junta, following the collapse of the Northeastern Command in Shan State.

Beijing's declared policy of "non-interference in Myanmar's domestic affairs" is being violated by this pressure, which has sparked more demonstrations against the Chinese government.

This pressure has stopped the Three Brotherhood Alliance's (3BHA) aggressive momentum.

 As a result, expatriate nationals of Myanmar have stepped up their criticism of the Chinese government.
