China opposes chaos and conflicts in Myanmar, as well as interference in Myanmar’s internal affairs by outside forces, and disapproves of any words and deeds that attempt to drive a wedge between China and Myanmar and accuse China groundlessly, the spokesperson stressed.

“We hope relevant parties in Myanmar can cease fire as soon as possible, settle disputes in a peaceful manner, and deescalate and cool do
