TOKYO -- Japanese companies operating in Myanmar, where a junta is violently putting down protests, find themselves in a dilemma: Do they respect local tax laws or public sentiment?
If they follow tax laws -- and some of their Myanmar employees are asking them not to -- the companies expose themselves to a public backlash, perhaps in the form of boycotts, as their abidance will be seen as financing the junta that staged a coup on Feb 1.
