Chinese Artists in Yangon Condemn NATO Attack

               Xinhua
               15-MAY-99

               YANGON (May 15) XINHUA - Ten Chinese cultural and
               artistic groups in Yangon, capital of Myanmar, issued a
joint
               statement here Saturday, strongly condemning the bloody
               and barbarous missile attack by the U.S.-led NATO on the
               Chinese Embassy in Belgrade on May 7. 

               The 10 organizations are Overseas Chinese Library,
Cultural
               and Artistic Association, Great Wheel Brass Band, Hong
               Qing, Hua Lien, Wan Nien Qing, Hai Yen and Panda Guitar
               Bands, Cantonese and Fujianese Opera Associations. 

               The statement said, "The NATO attack was a deliberate
               provocation to the Chinese people. It violated the U.N.
               Charter and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations
               as well as the basic norms governing international
relations
               and infringed on Chinese sovereignty." 

               "The U.S.-led NATO is a gang of bandits with no
humanity,"
               the statement said, warning the NATO that "the Chinese
               people are not to be bullied and would never yield to
               hegemonism and power politics." 

               The statement deeply deplored the death of three Chinese
               journalists and conveyed heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved
               families and the injured embassy personnel.

Foreign Journalists in Myanmar Condemn NATO Attacks

               Xinhua
               15-MAY-99

               YANGON (May 15) XINHUA - Resident foreign journalists in
               Myanmar Saturday condemned the U.S.-led NATO's missile

               attack on the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade on May 7. 

               U Sein Win of Kyodo of Japan, who is also honorary
               president of the Foreign Correspondents Club, said in an
               interview with Xinhua, "The NATO's acts violated the U.N.
               Charter and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations
               as well as the basic norms governing international
relations
               and infringed on Chinese sovereignty." 

               He pointed out that the NATO attack on the Chinese
               Embassy in Belgrade was "deliberate," adding that the
               NATO wanted to sound China out and see how China would
               react. 

               He stressed that following the disintegration of the
Soviet
               Union, the United States becomes the sole superpower in
               the world which pursues and practices hegemonism and
               power politics globally. 

               In recent years, China's comprehensive national strength
               increased obviously, he noted, pointing out that the
United
               States does not want to see the emergence of a strong
               China, thus taking a preemptive strategy on China. 

               In another interview with Xinhua, U Khin Maung Myint of
               NHK of Japan said a majority of the Myanmar people
believe
               in Buddhism which calls for "accumulation of the good for
               morals," believing that "good will be rewarded with good
and
               evil with evil." 

               Other foreign correspondents of Myanmar citizenship such
               as U Hla Htway of Antara of Indonesia, U Zaw Than of Jiji
of
               Japan and U Nyunt Tin of Fuji TV of Japan also expressed
               their condemnation of the NATO attack.
