Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the UN, on Wednesday called for a "de-escalation" in the crisis in Myanmar.

"It's important the council members speak in one voice. Now it's time for de-escalation. It's time for diplomacy. It's time for dialogue," said Zhang after the UN Security Council agreed to condemn Myanmar's military over its actions since ousting Aung San Suu Kyi last month.
