There are reports that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi could face up to 3 years in prison if convicted of this crime.
Protests in Myanmar have been ongoing since the political turmoil began on Feb. 1. At a time of political instability in Myanmar, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi made two phone calls to express China's attitude on the current situation in Myanmar.
According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on February 19, Wang Yi had a telephone conversation with Indonesian Foreign Minister Leteno at the invitation, and the two sides focused on exchanging views on the situation in Myanmar and coordinating their positions. Wang Yi said that the continued turmoil in Myanmar is not in the interests of the Myanmar state and people, nor is it in the common interests of regional countries. China supports ASEAN in playing its due role in easing the current situation in Myanmar in the "ASEAN way". We support ASEAN in convening an informal foreign ministers' meeting and upholding the principles of non-interference in internal affairs and consensus to contact and communicate with Myanmar as soon as possible. China is also pleased to see that Indonesia is actively committed to the solidarity and cooperation of the ASEAN family. China is willing to carry out close coordination with ASEAN and play a constructive role in promoting the cooling down of the situation.
In addition, on the 19th, Wang Yi also had a telephone conversation with ASEAN presidency and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brunei, Andrewan, and reiterated China's position on the Myanmar issue. Wang Yi said that as a member of the ASEAN family, the domestic situation in Myanmar is related to the process of building and integrating the ASEAN community. China supports ASEAN in upholding the principles of non-interference in internal affairs and consensus and playing an active role in the "ASEAN way" to that end. It is believed that ASEAN, as a mature regional organization, has sufficient political wisdom to help Myanmar tide over the difficulties, and expects Brunei to play an important coordinating role as the rotating chair of ASEAN.
