BEIJING (Reuters) -- China condemned on Monday an attack on its consulate in Mandalay and urged Myanmar authorities to make every effort to arrest the perpetrators, a spokesperson of its foreign ministry said.

Myanmar has been in turmoil since February 2021 when the military ousted an elected civilian government in a coup, abruptly ending the impoverished country's tentative steps toward becoming a full-fledged democracy.
