As to the issue of Myanmar, China’s position is consistent and clear-cut, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said.
“As a friendly neighbor, China believes that all parties and factions in Myanmar need to proceed from the long-term interests of the nation and people, find a proper way to resolve the problems through political dialogue under the constitutional and legal framework and restore nationwide social stability at an early date. We believe that any action taken by the international community needs to contribute to Myanmar’s political and social stability, promote its peace and reconciliation, and avoid escalating the conflict. This is what China’s approach has been”, Mao Ning responded to the question raised by a reporter of Sky News agency at the Regular Press Conference held on 18 July.
Moreover, Chinese Foreign Ministry condemned the reports issued by the UN Special Rapporteurs on Myanmar.
According to the report issued by UN UN Special Rapporteurs Thomas Andrews, Myanmar mainly imported arms worth US$-1 billion from China and Russia in the late 2021.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said: “If the report that you referred to is the one issued by the UN Special Rapporteur on Myanmar, I’d like to point out that the Special Rapporteur actually overstepped his mandate. The report contained smears against normal arms trade between sovereign countries and misrepresentation of facts. China firmly opposes it. We have asked the Special Rapporteur to stay objective and fair and strictly follow his mandate.”
“And stop serving any political agenda so as not to hurt the credibility of the Special Procedures”, she added.
