Posting this throwaway because I don’t want my residency canceled. That should give you a hint that I might know way more than the armchair experts. Any article that talks about Myanmar and doesn’t include the word “China” all over it, is probably propaganda of some sort. I won’t go more into this and I will allow people to do their homework and make up their own minds about the good and the bad of all of it, but Mya…

Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. It can be factual, at least. But in case China is supporting the military overthrow of foreign governments over the world, then "the West" has zero moral ground to criticize, as we've been doing exactly that since, well, forever.

> This is a giant fuck-you to the West, and it’ll work, because the West has zero leverage.
They won't work to fix Myanmar, but at some point the West has to ask itself if trade with China is worth it, for the future of both the West and all other countries that are not already in the grasp of China.
My opinion is that anyone who have political representation in the west (i.e. congressional representative, member of parliment, etc) should be calling and writing to them and demanding that they sanction China to the fullest extent.
I think there are plenty of reasons to sanction China, and maybe your political representatives won't actually push for sanctioning China as such a move would be rather impractical now, but they need to understand that the people they represent are not okay with what is happening so that, at the very least, they start pushing back and stop making new deals with China like the EU-China deal that Germany rammed through on it's neo-empire[1].
If the West does not take action on China soon it will be too late, if it is not already too late, and it is pathetic that Germany, a country that should know what "never again" means more than any other country, can't find a backbone and stand up against a genocidal tyrannical state like China. Germany should be ashamed of itself.

it is interesting that this comment criticising the west is not downvoted, but those that are criticising china are

Why do we still try to equate China and the US? They are not the same, I don’t know if it is some kind of a self-hate issue, but the West has it better. Period. As long as I can go to jail for saying Winnie The Pooh, China sucks and we should not encourage such regimes.
