what about aung san suu kyi's whereabouts? is she under house arrest?t sort of state is she in as far as we know? and what about the key reaction of china? aung san suu kyi, we believe, is staying in her home in naypyitaw under a kind of house arrest. we know she has been charged with this ludicrous case of apparently having illegal walkie—talkies. i mean, nobody takes that seriously. it seems they will pursue that. i suppose they may apply other charges to her as well. i think the military is still trying to figure out ways in which they can finish her off. nobody doubts that is the game plan now. the military complained about the election. its own party was pretty much wiped out, only got 6% of the seats, so if it is to hold another election and correct what it believes was an unfair election, it is going to have to stop aung san suu kyi from running, and so we expect her to stay in custody. here in the uk, scientists are warning the government against easing lockdown measures too soon, despite the continued roll—out of the coronavirus vaccination pro

of course there has been serious damage done to the reputation of aung san suu kyi and it is very sad was a symbol well beyond myanmar. but i would not expect world diplomacy to take that into consideration. after all, what matters today more than ever is the respect of democracy and she has had a resounding mandate from the electorate to lead the country. and this must be defended and upheld, regardless of what are, probably, serious flaws in her leadership at times. celia, china referred to the coup. the myanmar military said it was not a coup, they said it was a corrective for a defective election that they say was fraudulent. the chinese called it a major cabinet reshuffle. that's a bit like calling the english war of the roses a small family dispute. is it possible that this is actually a coup that was approved in china? that china may have seen this as something that was beneficial from its perspective? there have been questions raised about that, but i don't get that feeling, because the chinese ambassador to myanmar came out yesterday and said, look, we had fairly good relatio
