i'm speaking of burma and afghanistan. let me ask you about the military to improve -- in burma. it has effectively removed the country from international parliamentary engagement. i support the sanctions the biden ministration has already imposed on the burmese military missions and businesses. apart from these ad hoc sanctions, what more can we do to affect the burmese villa terry officials and affiliated businesses, how offensive -- how effective have these sanctions been already working with international partners to restrict their access to financial support, military equipment, whatever might be done? what kind of engagement you have with the national government, do you have a plan to work with them further? and how does the u.s. plan to conduct assistance programs, there are some in your budget, in ways not to benefit the military junta, not contradict what local groups have been urging, and something to address the previous government and this government the quality shared with regard to treatment of the running guy? -- the rohinga? >> we need to see an end to the violenc

scott, from bangkok excuse me to talk about this is debbie still thought who was a founder of the burma. it's just a network of ass e n organizations working to support a human rights and democracy in me and not debbie. we have seen so much violence and killing at target killing inside me and not ever since the government was deposed and we focused on that. and then we see something like this which proves that the reach of the military government is further its international. well, it's the find that the military regime is increasingly desperate. they failed to gain political and territorial control over the country. and yet mind the 1st place and now they are panicking that they may not be recognized by the un credentials. challenge coming up in the us in mid september in which the un committee will have to decide whether trauma to who represents the civilian elected government is there indeed the representative of the country or whether they will recognize this murderous regime instead? is there any precedent for this sort of thing happening sort of targeted killings outside of the co

they were going to the burma road to carry the supplies to the back -- well, not the front, to the backich was in the chongqing area. so a lot of them were forced to be a translator and they learned as they go, because the dialect sometimes, you could pick up a little bit more easier if you have the background. so it wasn't a total failure, but it took a lot of effort to make it happen. >> i think for a lot of americans world war ii was their first time out of the country. even if they were immigrants when they came to the united states, they would stay in one general area, whether it was mississippi or whether it was chinatown and then when they went overseas, the great differences in local cultures probably was a shock to them. and the same thing in germany there's different dialects, just like in china, where some of them -- or in switzerland, they speak german but it's a lot different than in northern germany. so, fang, with your experiences in the legion, did those networks and the close ties that resulted from a lot of the chinese immigrants being from the same area help locate an

that and, i must say, what about burma?d states remains deeply alarmed by the military coup in burma. we condemned the campaign of violent repression, and we are committed to supporting the people there as they work to return their nation to the path of democracy. and we do hope that nations throughout the indo-pacific join us in that effort. years from now, i hope we can all look back on this moment and say this, this was when our region joined together to realize a better future. when we took action to improve the lives of all people. years from now, i hope that we will be able to point to our partnerships between the united states and singapore, between the united states and southeast asia, and throughout the indo-pacific, as the partnerships that made this shared vision of the future possible. thank you all.

you can look at burma and the way that the military of take power against a new generation was influenced and accepted a lot of western ideas and western lifestyle. i really think that you call thank true to a whole lot of people that you can encourage. i think those people have to fight for their own future in their own country. and it sounds like ruthless who tell us thing to say, but i think that unless you've got sufficiently deep groups, unless you've got sufficient a portion of people who see that as the future to then it's not going to happen. and it's no good having encouraging every party that firm educated encourage, encourage him to leave the country. i think it's, it's obviously a. ringback very difficult moral question, do you have an obligation to those people? but i also ask you to do those people, does the new group, do they not have an obligation to their own country? i finally just want to ask you about the, the conditions in which we were seeing these terrorist attacks today. and we've seen this celtic scenes, afghans and foreign nationals trying to flee the country, th
