humanity,"

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.
