(This post includes the translated script and the video of meeting
between the anti-Chinese Copper Mine protesters and government ministers led by
U Aung Min on 25 November.)

And more than 100 Buddhist monks
and farmers protesting at the mine site were injured or burned. Some were so
badly burnt they ended up at nearby Monywa and Mandalay hospitals.
So, after showing
extraordinary restraint last few months, what triggered President Thein Sein’s
so-called reformist government to unleash a brutal strike against the
anti-Chinese copper mine protesters led by the so-called Iron Ladies, a couple
of landless peasants from the villages destroyed by the Chinese Copper Mine?
Main reason I believe was
the face-losing way the arrogant Iron Ladies treated the group of President’s
minsters, all former senior army officers, who had come down to the mine site
to meet them and work out a compromise with them.
Did Thwe-Thwe-Win one of the
Iron Ladies piss the Ministers off?

The meeting was recorded on video
and the tape was immediately released to the media organization both domestic
and local. I saw the video and it immediately reminded me of the video of that
infamous meeting the Chinese student leaders had with Chinese premier on the
eve of brutal crackdown of Tiananmen Square protests in China in June 1989.
In that Chinese video the
aged-leaders of Chinese Communist Party were basically pleading with the young
student leaders their grandsons’ age to return to the classrooms. But the arrogant
young men took the situation wrongly and treated the old men like shit. And
next day the old men sent the tanks and armed-soldiers of PLA into the Square
and the rest was history.
I translated the
conversation in that video of meeting between Iron Ladies and U Aung Min and
readers will make their own minds after reading the script if Thwe Thwe Win one
of the so-called Iron Ladies caused the all-powerful minsters to lose face at
the meeting and after the video was released internationally.
Especially the part where U
Aung Min was admitting their government is really scared of Chinese since China
could easily destabilise Burma again like what they did by supporting CPB
(Communist Party of Burma) for more than 20 years since immediately after the 1967 race riots in which thousands
of Chinese in Rangoon were slaughtered by the Burmese mobs.
After many months of showing extraordinary restraint
the ex-generals has now shown the burning fire within their collective belly
that they would do anything for their country to survive among three most
populated countries China and India and Bangladesh.
In the process Burmese government wouldn’t hesitate to
burn the deviants alive even if they are labelled Burma’s Iron Ladies by the most influential newspaper The New York
Times and supported by the foreign INGOs.
