I am quite sure many people around the world do support the Burmese people's protests against the Military junta seizing power from the duly and properly elected Ang Sang Suu Kyi's NLD government.
The military anywhere in the world has no business claiming the right to administer a country, let alone staging a coup against a duly elected government.
The military's job is to protect the country and its people from external attacks and in war times.
It is sad to see the Burmese protesters turning to burning down Chinese factories because they perceive, rightly or wrongly, the Chinese government supporting the Burmese Military junta.
Resorting to violence and damaging private properties is a mistake of the Burmese protesters reminiscent of the Hong Kong protesters turning mobsters, damaging and burning down the business premises and shops said to belong to Mainland Chinese people, and even damaging and burning down public properties and facilities.
Resorting to setting fires to the Chinese factories not only distracts the Burmese people from its fight against the Military junta but will also eventually erode people's sympathy from around the world for the protests and the protesters except perhaps for rabid anti-China America and its lackeys
The fight should strictly be directed against the hated Burmese Military junta and focused on it.
At most, if the Burmese people perceive China as supporting the Military junta, the better way would be to appeal to China to end its support because that will also benefit China-Burmese relations in the end if the Burmese themselves as a whole are against junta rule.
It would be a huge mistake if the Burmese protesters continue these attacks against Chinese factories or properties, causing damage and even occasioning deaths.
A lesson the Burmese protesters should take from the Hong Kong protesters turned mobsters.
