What the Chinese Are Reading About Burma – Chris O’Brien

From Beijing Newspeak blog:

… this article by a Chinese journalist, who works for the Global Times, on his recent “special assignment” to Burma. It has been translated by a good friend of mine Mark Binnersley, a journalist in Beijing. Obviously Xinhua News Agency has a branch in Yangon but isn’t allowed to make much use of this privilege. I thought this article serves as an example of what the average Chinese is reading about the current situation in Burma. I don’t really have time to comment on it (why do I always find myself on the computer, with bag unpacked, a few hours before my plane leaves) so make of it what you will
