As the US looks to build a coalition to further punish Myanmar’s generals, it’s not having much success convincing governments in Asia to follow suit.
The standing of army chief Min Aung Hlaing’s regime has slipped even further in the West after his envoy to the United Nations denounced the military takeover and Myanmar authorities killed at least 18 protesters on Sunday, the deadliest day since the Feb 1 coup. While the junta has since told security forces to avoid using live bullets, reports emerged that protesters were still being shot with them. Another nine were reported killed on Wednesday.
