On 17 June, Justice For Myanmar on condemned China’s hosting of junta leader Min Aung Hlaing, calling on Beijing to cease arms supplies and business dealings that the group says make it complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity in Myanmar.

By hosting war criminal and junta head Min Aung Hlaing, Xi Jinping is now deepening this complicity and awarding false legitimacy to a junta that has been rejected by the Myanmar people, who have courageously resisted its terror for more than five years.

The junta routinely uses Chinese weapons and equipment to slaughter civilians, destroy civilian infrastructure and drive mass displacement. For instance, the state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) provides the Myanmar military with fighter jets that it uses in its indiscriminate airstrikes, while the Chinese company Sinotruk provides the vehicles that the junta uses to transport troops that commit rape and sexual violence, torture and raze villages.

Now, the illegal junta has the opportunity to negotiate new arms and business deals, as the Chinese regime and its companies profit from the blood of Myanmar people.

Justice For Myanmar condemns the Chinese state and corporate complicity with the junta’s International crimes, and calls for accountability of all those who aid and abet genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity in Myanmar.
