Hundred of thousands of people, under the leadership of Buddhist monks, have joined in national peaceful demonstrations inside Burma, demanding a government that respects the will of the people. We urge you to use your important and influential position to compel the Burmese military regime towards an inclusive and representative national reconciliation process under the guidance of the UN Special Envoy for Myanmar Ibrahim Gambari.
The problems in Burma go beyond more than just the protests over the past month; for decades the military regime has perpetuated a steady strangulation of the country. As a result the military regime’s economic mismanagement, poor governance and suppression of the people, Burma has become a vestige of poverty and disease. Moreover, the regime has maintained a brutal campaign against ethnic minorities, destroying over 3,000 villages, forcing millions from their homes, and conscripting more child soldiers than any country in the world.
Global attention is focused heavily on Burma right now, and we support voices from the UN, ASEAN, world leaders, musicians, actors, and countless others who have spoken out for the release of the world’s only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Aung San Suu Kyi as well as the release of the thousands of others political prisoners.
In recognition of China’s unequivocal leverage with Burma’s military regime, we urge you to respect the wishes of the people of Burma and:
1) Support UN, ASEAN and high level diplomatic efforts by immediately calling for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners, as well as an urgent end to attacks against ethnic minority civilians.
2) Compel the Burmese military regime to engage in dialogue of national reconciliation with Aung San Suu Kyi and other members of the opposition parties and ethnic minority leaders.
3) Publicly support action at the United Nations Security Council by no longer vetoing peaceful UN Security Council resolutions on Burma.
China’s Olympic slogan is One World, One Dream, and we ask you to please use your position to help the people of Burma transition from a government which forces them into poverty, disease and death to one that is representative of one Burma, with their dream realized. A Burma that embraces national reconciliation will benefit China and the entire region.
