Tun (NP News) - Nov 10
The Chinese Premier Li Qiang asserted that China will not accept and China strongly opposes any actions that seek to harm and undermine the interests of Myanmar within Chinese territory.
He avowed this proclamation during the bilateral talk with Myanmar leader Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing on 7 November in Kunming.
Li Qiang also highlighted the importance of peace and stability in northern Myanmar and expressed the Chinese reaffirmation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Myanmar.
In addition, the Chinese Premier added: Myanmar, as a neighbouring country to China, the country's affairs of Myanmar are imperative to China, and thus, China will stand alongside the neighbouring country Myanmar in the international arena and on the global stage.
Three days after Myanmar declared State of Emergency, on 4 February 2021, the Chinese government objected to the use of the term 'coup’ during the first United Nations Security Council meeting discussing Myanmar.As a result, in the meeting statement (SC/14430), the term 'declaration of the State of Emergency' was used instead of the military coup. Since then, all United Nations statements have avoided the term 'coup.' Therefore, since the declaration of the State of Emergency, the Chinese government has clearly stood by the side of the Myanmar government. –
