- Two terrorist attacks this month (June 2023) in Southeast Asia have been carried out by groups backed by the United States government and its allies for decades; - This includes a singer murdered in Myanmar and a series of armed attacks carried out on police stations in Vietnam killing 9 including several civilians; - British state media, the BBC, and US government-funded media platform Radio Free Asia have attempted to spin and even justify this terrorism as part of a much wider pattern promoting and defending terrorism as a means to counter China’s rise and punish nations working closely with China; - The opposition in Myanmar has openly been backed by the US and UK for decades - fighting to reinstall Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy back into power; - In Vietnam, the ethnic Montagnards had fought alongside US invaders in the Vietnam War, and since then have worked closely with the US through the National Endowment for Democracy toward separatism; - Much of this context is omitted from Western state-media accounts of the terrorism; - Both Myanmar and Vietnam’s current governments have close relations with China. Vietnam, while depicted in the Western media as “anti-China,” has worked with China to build infrastructure within its borders and access Chinese rail projects to bring their products all the way to Europe; References: Radio Free Asia - Armed group attacks Vietnamese police stations, 39 people arrested (June 11, 2023): https://www.rfa.org/english/news/vietnam/dak-lak-police-attack-06112023231622.html Human Rights Watch - Vietnam: Free Political and Religious Detainees (2011): https://www.hrw.org/news/2011/04/07/vietnam-free-political-and-religious-detainees Falun Dafa - Teachings at the Conference in Switzerland Hongzhi Li September 4–5, 1998 ~ Geneva, Switzerland: https://en.falundafa.org/eng/lectures/19980904L.html Govinfo - US-Vietnam Trade Relations (June 15, 2000): https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-106hhrg71553/html/CHRG-106hhrg71553.htm BBC - Lily Naing Kyaw: Killing of Myanmar singer unnerves pro-military celebrities (June 6, 2023): https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-65820272 The New Atlas - Myanmar: US-funded Propaganda Spins Opposition Terrorism (2021): https://youtu.be/AOf7ShaDUc4 SCMP - SCO summit: China urges member states to ward off foreign-backed ‘colour revolutions’ (2022): https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3192817/sco-summit-china-urges-member-states-ward-foreign-backed MHRO - Achievements: https://www.mhro.org/about/accomplishments Where to Find My Work: Website: https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Telegram: https://t.me/brianlovethailand Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrianJBerletic Odysee (YouTube alternative): https://odysee.com/@LandDestroyer:8 Rumble (YouTube alternative): https://rumble.com/c/c-1459863 Weibo: https://weibo.com/u/7726044004 ไบรอัน แฟนคลับ (Facebook): https://facebook.com/BrianThaiFanclub/ Line Group: https://lin.ee/JIxTpKe Gab: https://gab.com/BrianBerletic VK (Facebook alternative): https://vk.com/brianberletic How to Support my Work (and thank you!): Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheNewAtlas Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/landdestroyer PromptPay: 0851547235 Cryptocurrency Donations: Ethereum (ETH): 0xee6ed93c3adc474450011e9af22939a0b9b312c7 BitCoin (BTC): 1AfGnbmHxA6cy9YKUSxysXvpJPyecpBKrr Monero (XMR): 845TCXx3pchSBXuDL7FHG679gbWD2wkHS6MJxuq7jFVsVFj7T6xsry747uhhGZUdkaRXbbrMfo5c8RnGfzGZ13KxQUdHVLR
