This week is the 37th anniversary of the June 4 crackdown in Beijing.

We had a big development in the available evidence on the violence since last year: the trial video of General Xu Qinxian leaked.

I wrote about the video for @WarOnTheRocks here:

Covering the #BurmaCoup from the ground in #Myanmar and talking to civilians in both war-torn and junta-held zones, I totally agree with @Lorcan_Lovett.
The NUG has wasted critical time. Their ultimate fear is Aung San Suu Kyi speaking out. Using her son Kim for their campaigns is pure image management for an entity whose popularity has tanked over the last two years. A massive silent majority remains unable to openly express their criticism of the NUG.

သူပြောနေကျစကားတခွန်းပဲလေ

"ဘုရားသခင်နဲ့အတူရှိနေရင် ဘယ်အရာကမှ သူ့ကို တားလို့ရမှာမဟုတ်ဘူးတဲ့ "
မြန်မာနိုင်ငံကို တိုက်ရိုက်ဝင်ခွင့်မရရင်တောင်မှ ခက်ခဲကြမ်းတမ်းတဲ့ တောတောင်တွေဖြတ်ပြီး မွေးရပ်မြေက ချင်းလူမျိုးတွေနဲ့ ရအောင် သွားတွေ့တယ်

I traveled with @ArletteBashizi to Mongbwalu, the gold mining town at the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak that is sweeping northeastern Congo. This is what we found.

Vietnam’s Leader Warns Asia About the Risks of Superpower Conflict

In a speech to military leaders from the region, To Lam said that distrust and a lack of respect for established rules had created a culture of “the big fish swallowing the small fish.”

@MsMelChen @business Not that simple. Singapore has also described the U.S. under Trump as a “revisionist power" (FM) and “a landlord seeking rent.” (MoD) The PM said the admin’s actions are fraying the post-WWII the global order.

For the past several months, I’ve talked to US officials and political and legal experts to understand the hierarchy of power within the Board of Peace, and what its plans mean for Gaza and the Palestinians.

NEW: Xinjiang has the highest detention capacity in the world, according to FT analysis - enough space for almost 1 in 40 people in the region - more than five years after the Chinese govt announced the camps had closed.

Respect the PH side for holding this grudge for an entire year after last year's China Daily doorstop video fiasco.

DND personnel blocks Chinese media previously identified as the ones who harassed the Philippine delegation in last year’s Shangrila Dialogues in Singapore.

Also, the Spring Development Bank is not of any size or seriousness. The usage of AliPay and WeChat across Myanmar is not the sign of some nefarious CCP plot.

"What the international community needs to do is apply pressure on the regime to genuinely engage in dialogue with the opposition."

Even from Turnell talk of an outright resistance victory is now gone.
