"China didn't want to see the situation as it is now," said Aung San Suu Kyi, a Chinese ambassador to Myanmar, about the ongoing public demonstrations against the military that caused the coup in Myanmar. He called for dialogue on both the party side and the military side, which he leads.
Chinese Ambassador Chen Hai, who is stationed in Myanmar, announced the contents on the embassy's website on the 16th in response to an interview with the local media.
In this, Ambassador Chen said that China has a friendly relationship with both the NLD = National League for Democracy and the military, a political party led by State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, saying, "China is in the current situation. I didn't want to see it, "he said, calling on both sides to address the issue appropriately through dialogue.
Ambassador Chen also said that the UN Security Council issued a statement to the press calling for the immediate release of Aung San Suu Kyi, "a common position in the international community, including China." , China also showed its stance to seek the release of Mr. Shu Qi.
"We can understand the people's complaints," he said, saying that citizens were gathering in front of the Chinese embassy in Yangon and demanding more pressure on the army that caused the coup. I avoid explicitly criticizing the military coup, saying, "I ask for self-restraint."
By appealing that China has a neutral stance, it seems that it also wants to dispel the concerns of the international community that it may strengthen relations with the military.
