AntwortenLöschenChina is Burma's or 'Myanmar's biggest supporter and keeps the place operating. Trading Timber and raw materials for arms and support. Any UN action will be vetoed by China, the UN is worthless as an organization. Darfur in the Sudan also doesn't have to worry, China will protect them also. Why anyone would think the UN is a viable place in the world to promote peace is wasting their breath.
