China shouldn't bother feeling sad about Assad's and his gang - and it's a stupid hill to bother with keeping - nor they need to hate the current Syrian government. the current Syrian government is a pragmatic one, and China can deal with it like they deal with Turkyie.
The Assad regime wasn't supportive for Russia or China, Assad's has lived in Paris more than Moscow, and they were a failed gang controlling a state that they destroyed, killed millions, made millions escape to other countries, and were just rotting in corruption & drug dealings.
The Syrian government obviously is leaning to the US because they're the one who have the influence there, and Syria can't stop Israel by force, but they can try kiss the orange one to make them stop.
Years will past, if Syria can stay intact, China will have a lot of chances to benefit from Syria there -- so that can be far in the future, like 5-10 years.
Thats the problem about showing how you're still protecting the old guard to give credibility. At the end of the day unless that guy returns to power, you have basically backed a failed investment that you have to write off completely. No matter how noble his intentions were, in the game of geopolitics, he is removed from the game and is no longer relevant. Actually the cost is negative because by holding onto the old guard, you now have a damaged relation with the new guard. Its why India is in such agony dealing with Bangladesh coz they are hosting Hasina who unless she returns is now nothing more than a criminal in Bangladesh.
China's not the guard for him, Russia is, Russia is the one who supported him with military forces, money, intelligence,...etc. China is not seen as a guard for Assad, China wasn't on his bad side nothing more.
And China now deal with Syria in a moderate way, even though they know US will try to stop & jeopardize anything related to china there, but still Syria is way irrelevant now because of its state that China doesn't care to deal with it seriously in a bad or good way.
Note: Nothing about Assad or his family is noble.
Addverb an Indian robotic startup wants to compete in the world market.
The CEO Sangeet Kumar says that Addverb says that his company can compete with the entire Chinese robot industry ecosystem. Namely because:
1) Addverb imports most components from Germany and Japan. Sangeet claims that they are more reliable than China.
2) India has better software capabilities than China.
3) India is more trusted in the global markets.
It is fine to be proud about building a your own domestic robot company. But why do you have to boast that you can compete with an entire world-leading industry? Simply because you're Indian and that you use non-Chinese components? Indians can never be humble, but they must always fantasize about humbling China.

Strangely coincides with reports a few weeks ago of newly produced F-35s missing radars.
I think Russia would have quickly abandoned Syria but for Iran. Putin mistake is not removing this Lavrov and all the team. Israeli not deal with him.
Iran got exaggerated importance towards the end of Soviet Union. and it impacted many policies like Armenia/Afghanistan. Putin stays at distance from Armenia.
