China is willing to work with the parties involved in Myanmar’s military coup towards a peaceful settlement in the South-east Asian country. “The immediate priority is to prevent further bloodshed and conflict,” said China’s top diplomat Wang Yi yesterday. Assistant Professor Benjamin Ho, who is with the China Programme at RSIS, said China has constantly emphasised the principle of non-interference in another country’s domestic politics. “In this case, it would be better for Beijing to wait out the situation in Myanmar without getting involved,” he added.
