Please remind us, when did China declare Syria as a key national interest worth lives of young Chinese soldiers?After the recent events in the Middle East, I am forced to change my view about China. They will pay the ultimate price for not doing more to protect their interests in the region. There was not even much that was required of them to stabilize the situation. Now they will need to do so much more to regain what was lost, if that is even possible at this point. China can take all its fighter jets and destroyers and shove them up its ass. They are a joke. They build and build and build and do nothing with what they've built. No wonder they are surrounded with bases and more bases continue to be built around them, and they just sit there and watch. They are watchers, not doers, period!
Has Assad ever asked China for protection? Did Russia or Iran ask China for help?
Now Assad has gone, what exactly has China lost in ME?
If you could turn all the clocks back in time, how would you advise China to defend Assad?
