- Description
Shows a Buddhist monk in Myanmar being tortured on a stretching machine by two soldiers. A member of the Chinese military tells them that it wasn't intended that they use that kind of restraint and one of the soldiers replies that they are only following China's example. Refers to attempts by the military in Myanmar to suppress the large protests led by pro-democracy Buddhist monks against the ruling military regime and to Myanmar's dependency on China who was the only country to stand by China after the military takeover in 1988. Burma gets cheap military requirements from China while China depends economically and strategically on Burma.
