Li reinforces tough stance on Myanmar bombing

China has "both the responsibility and ability" to safeguard the stability of its border areas with Myanmar, Premier Li Keqiang said on Sunday.

He was reinforcing Beijing's strong response to a fatal bombing incident in China by a warplane from Myanmar.

"What happened was deeply distressing," said Li when answering a final, but highly anticipated, question at a news conference at the end of the annual national legislative session.
