Myanmar:China and Russia Veto UN Resolution on Myanmar

Fifty Viss is disappointed at Russia and China vetoing a US backed draft resolution calling for a stop to human rights abuses in Myanmar. “Obviously, both Russia and China have military and economic interests in Burma. China in particular is fond of having an undemocratic regime it shares borders with (also prosititutes, drugs, gambling and AIDS, for that matter) and wants water access to the Bay of Bengal through Burma, rather than through China’s east coastline. Russia, itself increasingly undemocratic, would contradict its own domestic problems, which include lack of freedom of expression.”
