Japanese businesses will continue doing business there while the J gov will still be one of the govt's biggest supporters.

China, Thailand, Japan, United States, Germany are at the top.

Human Rights Watch. Whenever I hear that organization's name, along with Amnesty International, I always think there's some sort of ulterior motive for this sort of news. Just like when I hear the name, National Endowment of 'Democracy'.

@Ssrp: Sir, perhaps you should tell those "Not so clean democracies" :(Japan,U.S.,Germany) to get out of doing business in Burma instead just empty words of condemning the executions and run business as usual. Their hypocrisy was in a full red face right here. At least the Chinese just doing business and the Chinese government has made it clear the uninvolvement of other country domestic measures , they are no hypocrite!

ahhh, if only you had the same common sense when it came to the invasion of Ukraine by the fascist Russian government. Brilliant.

In the US, democracy activists are persecuted by Congressional hearings, and prosecuted by the Justice Department.

I do have common sense when it comes to the military operation in the Ukraine which is why I don't listen to the western mainstream  ̶ n̶e̶w̶s̶ ̶m̶e̶d̶i̶a̶ propaganda. I can see right through the tactics of  ̶N̶A̶T̶O̶ USA and its proxy war with Russia. It's sickening how people are in denial of the fascism that has been behind the killing of east Ukrainians since 2014, and how USA is willing to just let more people die while it pumps more weapons (and taxpayers' money) into oblivion. The USA has agents all over the place like South East Asia. If it doesn't then it stages uprisings and coups.

For all Star-trekkers - the Myanmar Junta has executed Leonard McCoy's (aka BONES) double.

As a Brit, I used to respect the Burmese Army - they were fearless fighters for the British Army. Now, they're nothing but a Mafia organization that's taken control of their Country and killing off anyone who disagrees with them. Now they're Scum... what change.

As has been done for the Mafia, anything Myanmar related should be placed immediately upon the Terrorist organization list - sadly this also means non-Military related organizations too, as simply put, all taxes they pay, will end up going to fund the Military Junta there anyway. Only through a unified international response, can change happen to resolve this terrible situation.

democracy activists are persecuted by

Anti-democracy extremist followers of a far right failed and unhinged politician are rightfully prosecuted for their violent ,criminal actions.

Myanmar is not on my bucket list of places to visit.

Hopefully the government of Myanmar will one day belong to the people, and the military will serve the people instead of attacking them.

Sadly, Speed is right which only turbo-charges the oppressive nature of the gang pretending to be an army.

This is all about money and the military’s fear that their illegal activities- be they illegal logging, drug production, human trafficking, what have you - and the profits thereof would have been impinged by an actual functioning government. Can’t have that.

So they went on a murder spree. As the Chinese Communist Party demonstrated in 89, if you gotta kill protesters, kill a ton of them and send a message.

Speed was right and the no-strings nature of J-gov support (in addition to the other governments) sent the unequivocal message “Do whatever you want, boys. Just keep the raw materials flowing and the business going.”

It’s very disappointing

Any company doing any business with scum of the earth Myanmar is a hater of democracy and human rights.

Boycott Myanmar and shut them off from the free world entirely.
