BANGKOK, Thailand — Mia Farrow said Friday the world should use next month's Olympic Games as a platform to demand that China end its support for Myanmar's junta.

China is Myanmar's most important ally, providing economic, military and other aid while Western nations shun the military-ruled country because of its poor human rights record and failure to restore democracy.

China objects to Western criticisms of Myanmar's junta, saying conditions in the southeast Asian country have improved dramatically since a violent crackdown on peaceful protests in September.

Myanmar was formerly known as Burma.
