CHINA, do you want to change your reputation for ruthless burmese junta?
China has been calling the recent bloodshed in Burma "Burma's interal affairs that do not threaten international peace and security"[1]. China's Ambassador to the United Nations Wang Guangya said "These problems, we believe, are basically internal. A solution for the Myanmar situation has to be found by the Myanmars themselves."
What Wang refuses to recognizes that all citizens of the world in this fight against the oppression of peaceful Burmese citizens by brutal and ruthless Burmese junta have become all Myanmars themselves. Thus, Myanmars are indeed finding peaceful ways for this crisis. However, to thwart those efforts of the world's citizens, Chinese government is the one which is meddling with Burma's internal affairs by supporting the Burmese military junta.
Burma's foreign minister U Nyan Win on Monday blamed intense pro-democracy demonstrations in his country on "political opportunists". He dare not blame the REAL political and economy opportunitist China.
Not only China meddles with Burma's internal affairs, China is the real political opportunist who seeks to secure a route to the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea through Burma. In addition, propping up the Burmese junta provides China a proxy state to India and Thailand. China is also the real economy oppurtinist who seeks to profit from Burma's vast source of natural gas for China's growing energy needs.
What Chinese government needs to do now is call a Chinese Securtiy Council meeting of its own and think hard.
This time the tide is turning agaist the Burmese Military junta. The whole world is not only watching. They are united and taking actions.
Just to mention a few. United Nations has sent the special envoy to Burma to persuade them to find peaceful solutions. The special envoy is going back to Burma no later than November to make sure that Burma does not return to the statu quo. The United Nation Human Rights Council is preparing to go inside Burma and investigate the dead, detained, missing and tortoured monks and Burmese who have again couragously expressed their desire to live free of oppression. Today, in dozens of cities across Asia, Europe and North America, people took to the street to show that they stand shoulder to shoulder with the Burmese in their struggle for freedom [3]. 543, 197 people from 192 countries have signed up a petition to request Chinato persuade the Burmese junta to choose the peaceful path to national reconciliation [4].
China needs to decide whether to keep supporting the fading Burmese junta or join the peaceful efforts by the United Nations and citizens of the world for the birth of a democratic, peaceful and legitimate government in Burma. And, China needs to decide now.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR AND
MY BUSINESS too.
I have read what you wrote and agree with everything.
