China Defends Myanmar Junta at UN, Faces Criticism Over Rohingya, Child Rights Abuses
China has come under fire for shielding Myanmar’s military junta from human rights scrutiny at the United Nations, following a statement by its envoy opposing the “politicization” of the junta’s abuses—including those against the Rohingya and a recently arrested six-year-old girl. Speaking at a June 10 informal General Assembly session, Chinese deputy ambassador Sun Lei reaffirmed Beijing’s support for Myanmar’s military regime, urging the international community to focus on "dialogue and development" rather than pressure. The session, mandated by a 2024 UN resolution, aimed to assess ongoing rights violations and the stalled peace process in Myanmar. Sun reiterated China’s position of non-interference, declaring support for Myanmar’s "sovereignty and stability." He also backed ASEAN as the main mediator, suggesting that its Five-Point Consensus should align with the junta’s own Five-Point Roadmap. His remarks followed growing international outrage over China’s behind-the-scenes influence, including pressuring ethnic armed groups like the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) to hand over strategic territory to the junta. Critics say Beijing's actions undermine local resistance and empower military violence. The session also exposed worsening abuses inside Myanmar. UN special envoy Julie Bishop condemned continued atrocities by the military despite ceasefire claims. She warned that the junta’s planned elections, backed by China, could provoke further instability unless accompanied by genuine inclusivity and an end to violence. Among the most disturbing revelations was the regime’s arrest of a six-year-old girl, whose name and photo were publicly released after a political assassination. Legal experts condemned the move as a violation of international and domestic child protection laws. The Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MNHRC) has remained silent. Human rights activists and defectors say the regime frequently fabricates evidence and arrests civilians to appear in control, especially during high-profile visits by junta leaders. Despite mounting criticism, China continues to portray itself as a “constructive” partner. “We will continue to play a constructive role in helping Myanmar achieve stability and reconciliation,” Sun said. Analysts warn that Beijing’s defense of the junta—coupled with growing evidence of war crimes, mass detentions, and child rights violations—may deepen Myanmar’s crisis and damage China’s standing in the region. -2025-06-13 -

A New Era for the Homeless: Rayner Pledges End to Criminalising Rough Sleeping
They cannot build more cheap social housing, its empty promises. They don't have enough workers for their original failed promises, now they are making more empty promises. Quite disgusting really UK 'doesn't have enough builders' for Labour's 1.5m homes The UK does not have enough construction workers to build the 1.5 million homes the government has promised, industry leaders have warned.
