Reasons 1.4 (b/d).
1. (C) China was disappointed by the decision to place Burma
on the UN Security Council's agenda, MFA Deputy Division
Director for United Nations Affairs Yao Shaojun said in
response to reftel demarche. After noting he would convey
the USG position and seek an official response, Yao offered
his informal reaction that Beijing believes placing Burma on
the UNSC agenda is counterproductive to encouraging a
positive domestic direction in the country.
2. (C) Poloff responded by drawing on reftel points to note
that the United States will continue to seek support for a
non-punitive UNSC resolution on Burma this fall. The USG
believes the international community should speak with one
voice to press the Burmese regime to seek reform and change
in the interests of its people and regional stability, he
said.
