China says it will veto Myanmar UN measure
China announced on Friday it would veto a U.S.-drafted Security Council resolution calling on Myanmar's military junta to end its persecution of minorities and political opposition groups. Calling it an interference in Myanmar's internal affairs, China's U.N. Ambassador Wang Guangya told the council minutes before a vote: "China, therefore cannot but vote against the draft resolution before us."
China's against any interference in the internal affairs of even the most inept dictatorships as a matter of principle.
