Intervention in Internal Affairs
United Nations

China blocked an effort by US and European countries to have the Security Council condemn Myammar's violent crackdown on protesters. Ambassador Wang Guangya told council members that the conflict in Myanmar was a domestic one, saying, "The situation there has some problems, but does not constitute a threat to international and regional peace.” Following the adoption of the Security Council presidential statement, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said the Myanmar issue should be resolved with the efforts of Myanmar's government and people and through consultation.
