Myanmar Refugees. What Is China Doing About It?
myanmar
Perhaps the better question is, what is the west doing about it? I always hear the west criticising what China, or another country, yet they do nothing to help. So, if China is deporting Myanmar refugees, then instead of complaining about it through the corporate media, shouldn't the west take the refugees, if they are so concerned about "human rights", as they chronically claim to be. Here is Reuters spin on the story. I will highlight some of the key words that make their story obvious disinformation.
Myanmar refugees
China has forcibly returned scores of ethnic Kachins who have fled Myanmar because of civil war, putting them at risk of armed violence and abuse by Myanmar's army, a human rights group said on Friday. [This is a double attack on both China, and Myanmar. First of all, what proof does this "human rights" group have that China is forcing anyone to return to Myanmar, or that Myanmar's army is abusing or using violence against anyone? Second, what authority does the "human rights" group have? If anyone studied the patterns and funding of so called "human rights groups" of the west, you will notice that both their motives, and funding sources are dubious.

uthwestern Chinese province of Yunnan after fighting between the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and Myanmar's government flared up in the middle of 2011 following a 17-year truce, according to aid groups.
Diplomats say the conflict in Kachin state is one of the biggest tests for Myanmar's new civilian government's reform effort. Myanmar's government is in talks with the KIA and more than a dozen other ethnic minority rebel groups, to try to end all its decades-old conflicts.
Chinese authorities forcibly returned at least 1,000 Kachin refugees to Myanmar's northernmost Kachin state in mid-August, where they face a shortfall of aid, the New York-based Human Rights Watch said in a statement. [forcibly? I think they already said that, or are they using it again and again for added horror effect?
China plans to deport another 4,000 refugees to Myanmar, also known as Burma, imminently, the rights group said.
"China is flouting its international legal obligations by forcibly returning Kachin refugees to an active conflict zone rife with Burmese army abuses," said Bill Frelick, director of the refugee programme at Human Rights Watch. [What's the real reason that the west is attacking the Myanmar army? Is the west not getting something they want from Myanmar? Such as natural resources? Or does the west just want to do a regime change, like they did in Libya？ So they can get British agent Aung sang su kyi into power and run Myanmar into the ground like they did Iraq? The west can't possibly be concerned about army abuses, because the Israeli army abuses Palestinians on a daily basis, yet Reuters is silent on this. What legitimacy does this "human rights" group have? Before I take any of their word as bond, I want to see credentials. I want to know where their funding comes from, how accurate were they in previous reports, what their track record is, who their board of directors are, and what their previous positions were.]
Frelick called on China to "urgently change course and provide temporary protection for the refugees". [Instead of sitting there and complaining from your air conditioned office, why not take the refugee yourself, and provide them with "protection", instead of telling a sovereign government what they ought or ought not do.]
China's Foreign Ministry and the Yunnan government were not immediately available for comment. In June, it denied similar accusations by Human Rights Watch that it had forced back into Myanmar the Kachins, saying the people were not refugees. [Not available for comment, or maybe Reuters had something to hide]
Chinese authorities have failed to provide the refugees temporary protection or aid, even as they have given sanctuary to an estimated 7,000 to 10,000 Kachin refugees in Yunnan, according to Human Rights Watch. [Got any evidence for this, or is that just hear say? Can you show me some photo evidence of this? preferably not something photoshoped in a Qatari studio. Is that what Reuters is about? Spreading rumours? No wonder people in the west don't read the news. It's filled with disinformation and a corporate agenda.]
The rights group also said the Chinese government has denied United Nations and international humanitarian agencies much-needed access to these refugees. [Is this the same United Nations that gave its blessing to the U.S. regime sponsoring terror in Syria? The same United Nations that stood by and did nothing as the U.S. and Nato bombed Libya back into the stone age.]
While China has strong business and trade ties with Myanmar, it has long looked with wariness at its poor and unstable southern neighbour, and has repeatedly called on the country to ensure stability along their vast and remote border.
