Burnt Chinese-run factories in Myanmar vex Beijing

Attacks on Chinese-run factories in Myanmar's biggest city have drawn demands from Beijing for protection for their property and employees, while many in Myanmar expressed outrage over China's apparent lack of concern for those killed in protests against last month's military coup.

Satellite images from Yangon provided by Maxar Technologies show Global Fashion Garment Factory, a Chinese-owned supplier to the fashion retailer C&A, billowing with smoke and damaged by fire.

The Chinese Embassy has urged that police be deployed to protect Chinese companies and their staff.
