Security forces killed at least 14 protesters in the poor, industrial Hlaingthaya suburb of Myanmar’s main city, Yangon, on Sunday after Chinese-financed factories in the area were set ablaze, according to local media.

A further 14 people were reported killed elsewhere in Yangon and other parts of Myanmar and state television said a policeman had died in one of the bloodiest days of protests against the February 1 military coup against elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

China’s embassy said many Chinese staff were injured and trapped in arson attacks by unidentified assailants on garment factories in Hlaingthaya and that it had called on Myanmar to protect Chinese property and citizens.

Anti-Chinese sentiment has risen since the coup that plunged Myanmar into turmoil, with opponents of the army takeover noting Beijing’s muted criticism compared to western condemnation.

Only two factories had been burnt for now, protest leader Ei Thinzar Maung posted on Facebook. “If you want to do business in Myanmar stably, then respect Myanmar people,”
