Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed solidarity with Myanmar on Saturday following a devastating magnitude-7.7 earthquake that rocked the Southeast Asian nation. The quake, which struck Friday afternoon, disrupted power supplies, crippled mobile networks, and damaged buildings across multiple regions.
Rescue teams are racing against time to reach affected areas, particularly in Yangon where communication blackouts have complicated relief efforts. President Xi’s message to Myanmar’s leader Min Aung Hlaing highlighted China’s commitment to “providing necessary support” during the crisis.
The disaster underscores the growing frequency of seismic activity in the region. As global youth, let’s keep our eyes on recovery efforts – and remember: solidarity knows no borders. 💙🌐
