Myanmar's generals were never close to China so you can't call it back stabbing. In fact the generals wanted to wage war against it's northern states that are backed by China.

Ma Kyal Sin died in very fishy circumstances. She was made a rock star, obviously choreographed by opposition, and then killed with a bullet behind the head (note police and army is in front). Army say they do not have the calibre of bullet that killed her.

This is yet another replay of Ukraine.

Opposition took photograph of her (others are masked and she is not. Obviously wanting to make her a star)

Others face in front, she face behind. Someone ask her to pose.

Somehow opposition photographer managed to get a shot of her father encouraging her to fight for freedom. Her father in my opinion is a fcuking moron.

Both posing for oppo and this must have been choreographed.

I will not allow my children to go to streets confronting the army and police, I want my kid to study. This guy must have taken monies.

Aung San Suu Kyi and gangs are ignoble, despicable and vile. If they have their ways, millions more in Myanmar will die.

This piece of fake news is first propagate by the Israeli Jewish spook Ari Ben-Menashe. It seems that China is now world number one enemy of Jews.

I guess reason being

1. The rise of China has been harming Jewish shylock and bloodsuckers.
2. The performance of Chinese students seriously wounded the pride of Jews who once brag themselves being world cleverest race.
3. Jews control USA. Jews control and plunder the world via USA. China is rising vs USA. So Jews is losing control of the world
4. Jews control USA and world through intellectual prowess. Now Chinese are proving to be smarter. This eventually will chop off Jewish power.

As time goes by Jews will hate Chinese and China more.

Australia Takes Action Against Myanmar Military

SYDNEY - Australia has acted against Myanmar's military in response to the country's escalating violence following the toppling of the elected government.

Australia says it is gravely concerned about the repression of protests in Myanmar since the democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi was ousted by the military in early February. It has urged Myanmar security forces “to exercise restraint and refrain from violence against civilians.”

Mass demonstrations have been held across the Southeast Asian country. The United Nations has said more than 50 people have been killed, so far.

In response, Australia has cut defense programs in Myanmar and has said humanitarian aid would be directed to the people.

“We have looked at the nature of the limited bilateral defense cooperation program we have had and that has been suspended," said Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne. "We have also looked at the development program and development support that we have provided and redirected that with an absolute focus on the immediate needs of some of the most vulnerable and poor in Myanmar, which is one of the poorest countries in ASEAN [Association of Southeast Asian Nations].”

Payne said the decision was made after “extensive consultations with our international partners, particularly our ASEAN neighbors, Japan and India.”

Canberra is also concerned for the safety of Sean Turnell, an Australian academic who has been a key economic aide to Myanmar’s de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.

Her National League for Democracy party won a landslide victory in an election last November with more than 80% of the vote.

The military has detained Suu Kyi and Turnell for more than a month along with others.

Myanmar, also known as Burma, became independent from Britain in 1948. It was controlled by a repressive military government from 1962 to 2011.

A government effectively led by Suu Kyi came to power after elections in 2015.

No.
Milk tea alliance and threaten to disrup the gas pipeline make China to back Myanmar junta more than ever.
In the view of Chinese, protests in Myanmar is serious threat to Chinese national security.
So China will help the junta till the last drop.
As long as anti China sentiment is in Myanmar, China will back Myanmar in the international arena including UNSC.

S.Korea to suspend defense exchanges with Myanmar, ban arms exports: Minister

South Korea will suspend defense exchanges with Myanmar and ban arms exports to the country after a military coup and violent suppression of pro-democracy protests, the foreign ministry said on Friday.

The ministry also said Seoul would limit exports of other strategic items, reconsider development aid and grant humanitarian exemptions for Myanmar nationals to allow them to stay in South Korea until the situation improves.

“Despite repeated demands of the international community, including South Korea, there are an increasing number of victims in Myanmar due to violent acts of the military and police authorities,” the ministry said in a statement.

The last defense exports from South Korea to Myanmar were in 2019, but Seoul still spends millions of dollars on development projects there, according to data filed with the International Aid Transparency Initiative.

The South Korean government would reconsider some unspecified developmental cooperation with Myanmar, but would continue projects that are directly linked to the livelihood of Myanmar citizens and humanitarian aid, the statement said.

Myanmar activists held more rallies on Friday, a day after a rights group said security forces killed 12 protesters calling for a return to democracy.

The Southeast Asian country has been in crisis since the army ousted the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi on February 1, and detained her and other officials of her National League for Democracy.


Exclusive: Myanmar's first satellite held by Japan on space station after coup

TOKYO (Reuters) - Myanmar’s first satellite is being held on board the International Space Station following the Myanmar coup, while Japan’s space agency and a Japanese university decide what to do with it, two Japanese university officials said.

The $15 million satellite was built by Japan’s Hokkaido University in a joint project with Myanmar’s government-funded Myanmar Aerospace Engineering University (MAEU). It is the first of a set of two 50 kg microsatellites equipped with cameras designed to monitor agriculture and fisheries.

Human rights activists and some officials in Japan worry that those cameras could be used for military purposes by the junta that seized power in Myanmar on Feb. 1.

That has put the deployment on hold, as Hokkaido University holds discussions with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the two Hokkaido University officials said.

“We won’t get involved in anything that has to do with the military. The satellite was not designed for that,” one of the officials, a manager of the project, told Reuters, asking not to be identified.

“We are discussing what to do, but we don’t know when it will be deployed. If it is halted, our hope is that the project could be restarted at some point.”

The manager did not say when the satellite was meant to be deployed, or when a decision would have to be taken by JAXA either to go ahead or delay it.

The second Hokkaido University official said the contract with MAEU did not specify that the satellite cannot be used for military purposes. However, data from the spacecraft would be collected by the Japanese university and cannot be independently accessed by Myanmar officials, the second official said.

Since the coup, university officials had been unable to contact the rector of MAEU, Prof Kyi Thwin, the second official added.

Officials at JAXA could not be reached for comment. MAEU did not respond to calls seeking comment, nor did a spokesman for Myanmar’s junta.

The satellite was launched by NASA on Feb 20 as a small part of a large and varied payload of supplies to the International Space Station 400 km (250 miles) above the earth. It has since been kept by JAXA inside Japan’s Kibo experiment module. JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi is one of the seven crew members now on board the space station.

Japan has close ties to Myanmar and is one of its biggest aid donors. While condemning the violence, it has not taken as hard a stance against the coup as the United States and some other Western countries which have applied sanctions.

While the spacecraft has not been built to military specifications, Teppei Kasai, Asia programme officer for Human Rights Watch, said it would be easy for Myanmar’s army rulers to appropriate the technology for military use.

“So the involved Japanese universities should suspend the project and urgently review it for potential human rights risks,” Kasai said.

The Chinese Embassy in Myanmar on Sunday urged Myanmar to take effective measures to stop violence and punish perpetrators after several Chinese-funded factories were smashed and burned by lawbreakers on Sunday, which led to several Chinese being injured.

"China urges Myanmar to take further effective measures to stop all acts of violence, punish the perpetrators in accordance with the law and ensure the safety of life and property of Chinese companies and personnel in Myanmar," read the statement.

China also called on the people of Myanmar to express their demands in a lawful manner and not to be incited or used in a way that undermines Sino-Myanmar ties, according to the statement.

The statement came after over 10 factories, including some Chinese-funded enterprises, were vandalized and set on fire at an industrial zone in Myanmar's Yangon city on Sunday.

Carrying iron rods, axes and gasoline, the arsonists smashed the security personnel and set fires at the factories' entrances and in warehouses.

Vehicles and nearby shops were also vandalized.

Per reports, several people were injured but identities of arsonists have not been ascertained yet.

And this makes Myanmar another nation after Iran to lose a satellite!


News ID: 3712041 - Wed 13 July 2016 - 09:50

TEHRAN, Jul. 13 (MNA) – Head of Iran's Space Agency announced at a presser in Tehran that Iran would launch 3 satellites in the next 8 months.

...

He also recounted that an Iranian delegation has been invited by Italians to visit Mesbah satellite and discuss returning the device to Iran. Italy refused to hand it over to Iran under the pretext of international sanctions on Iran. “

Iranian researchers need to evaluate considerations to decide over the launch of Mesbah satellite into the orbit,” he added saying that it may no longer be cost-efficient.

Iran's Mesbah satellite was built in collaboration with Italy's Carlo Gavazzi Space S.p.A in 1998 and was unveiled in 2005.

Mesbah, a low earth orbit telecommunication satellite, was never launched as both Russia and Italy refused to continue cooperation with Iran on space projects due to the sanctions against Iran.

The Fermi Paradox of Myanmar: “Where is everybody?”

Well, look no further, note after Iran's Meshba satellite, now the Burmese LAWKANAT-1 satellite hijacked into oblivion!

What could be the reason for such humiliating outcome?

Built in 1998, the Iranian Mesbah satellite launch was finally cancelled and put in a museum some 18 years later!

Expect the same with Myanmar's LAWKANAT-1 (MMSATS-1) satellite. Consider the US$15 million lost forever!

Conclusion one should always choose its friends carefully. Never trust the Romans and Samurai backstabbers!

Look East, toward China and North Korea instead as time-honoured brotherly allies, as do General Prayuth Chan O Cha and General Hun Sen!

This means the Tatmadaw will have to follow Iran's path, restart from scratch and build another simpler satellite, to be launched with an indigenously developed space launcher!

Thus becoming a fully independent space power.
