China's foreign minister says Beijing "is willing to engage with 'all parties' to ease the crisis" in Myanmar. But engagement isn't the issue. Will Beijing put pressure on the junta to reverse the coup? Why is it blocking strong UN Security Council action?
The Myanmar junta's new lobbyist says "the military was best placed to oversee a return to democracy after the coup it staged." Well yes, it can reverse the coup & allow the elected government to take power. But Gen Min Aung Hlaing instead wants a do-over.
