Myanmar coup: Protesters accuse China of backing military junta
Issued on: Modified:
Riot police in Myanmar on Friday dispersed hundreds of anti-coup protesters who have rallied daily in the country’s largest city against a junta that toppled civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Myanmar’s giant neighbour China, which has traditionally taken a soft line, said any international action should contribute to stability, promote reconciliation and avoid complicating the situation. Is Beijing backing the military junta as some protesters suspect? FRANCE 24’s Charles Pellegrin tells us more.
