'Beijing will not tolerate US pressure on Syria'

Crisis-locked Syria finds itself caught between two very different diplomatic efforts. As the U.S. and its allies pile pressure on the government, Russia and China are trying to mediate a negotiated solution. One of Beijing's top diplomats is in Damascus for talks, calling on all sides to halt the violence, and work out a peace deal. The Chinese effort follows up on months of attempts by Moscow to bring the warring sides together. But the rebels refuse to negotiate, unless Assad gives up power. Violence is escalating almost daily now, with dozens reportedly killed over the past 24 hours. Political science professor Joseph Cheng says U.S. dominance in the region is forcing some world powers onto the defensive.

These words from China are the same words Japan used in 1929 prior to their world expansion on the hunt for natural resources. China needs to expand, it has no choice, the West is now addiction to cheap disposable made in China junk, for which you can blame Nixon and his corporate buddies when they surrendered, no, sacrificed American jobs for short term corporate gains. China could not believe their luck, and are still laughing at America's stupidity for trading know-how for short term gains

Assad does not fit the definition of a dictator as most of the people in Syria support him. At worst you could call him a king. USA brainwashing media wouldn't tell you that most of Syria supports Assad though I wonder why.

How else do you think he has held out so long? Its because the people support him. If they didn't he wouldn't have an army.
