The United States on Monday urged Myanmar to halt attacks on ethnic minorities, saying it was "deeply concerned" about the fighting.

"We urge the Burmese authorities to cease their military campaign and to develop a genuine dialogue with the ethnic minority groups, as well as with Burma's democratic opposition," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said in a statement.

 

美国国务院声明口径，第一，鲜明地敦促缅当局停止军事进攻；第二，停止对少数民族动武，开展真正的对话。

中国外交部发言口径要点：第一，敦促缅方妥善处理；第二，要求保护中国公民的安全。

相比之下，中国的表态没有明确要求停止进攻果敢或停火，也没有敦促停止对少数民族动武和开展对话，给人的印象是只要不杀中国侨民就行，别的看着办吧。实际上，缅方还是至少杀死了2个中国公民，打伤十多个，财产损失就更多了。

在中国边境发生的武装冲突，不仅战火烧到中国边境引发难民潮，而且造成中国公民死伤，难道中国的声明和关切还不如远在万里之外的美国吗？难道中国外交部不应该改进自己的发言口径吗？
