China takes frank, open stand on Myanmar issue

Edited and Translated by People's Daily Online

As a friendly neighbor of Myanmar, China treasures the bilateral relationship very much and always pays attention to the changes of Myanmar 's situation. China supports Myanmar to walk on the development road which accords with its national conditions, and China thinks highly of the efforts made by Myanmar to promote its domestic political reconciliations and improve its relationships with other countries.

China suggests that international communities should offer constructive assistances for Myanmar and create an easy environment for the country to promote its national reconciliations and realize the democracy and development. Facts of past years have proved that sanctions and oppressions will solve nothing.

A noticeable thing is that some Westerners link some changes of Myanmar with China factors and even say China is responsible for the changes.

A stable and prosperous Myanmar accords with the fundamental interests of its people and is good for promoting the regional development and the integration of the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations.

China hopes that Myanmar has a stable political situation, develops its economy and makes social progresses. China is also willing to see that Myanmar strengthens its ties with Western countries including the United States.
