August 22 (NMG) ICFTU on August 21 issued a statement from Brussels denouncing China’s stance on Burma of preventing foreign interference, and urged international communities, governments and business companies to step up pressure on military government in order to restore democracy and human rights in Burma.

The secretary of ICFTU, Guy Ryder alleged China that “China stance on Burma is immoral and reflects its regional power game. It is just denying universal norms of human rights with repeated words of “do not interfere internal matters.”

In the meantime Deputy Senior General Maung Aye, the junta's number-two leader, was currently in China for a visit. "The current domestic situation in Myanmar is the country's internal affairs, and China will not agree to foreign interference or to sanctions and isolation, and Myanmar will remain stable, its ethnic groups will live in harmony," State owned Xinhua news agency quoted saying of State Councilor Tang Jaixuan on August 20

In the statement, the ICFTU also urged international communities, governments and business companies to take concrete actions and responsibilities and suggested to stay away from Burma till human rights and democracy restored.

The international communities had beef up pressures on Burma after military government attacked brutally on opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her supporters on May 30. There were series of arrests and crackdown on opposition members around the country. Notably, US government had approved “Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act” signed by the President in early August.

U Aung Moe Zaw, the general secretary of umbrella anti-government organization, the National Council of Union of Burma (NCUB) said “Chinese Foreign Minister already told in ASEM meeting that China will support the constructive approaches in order to get national reconciliation in Burma. If the United Nations and the Security Council consider the Burma’s case seriously, then I think China will not object the UN initiatives.”
