After the Arab League tried to secure United Nations Security Council backing of its action plan for a political transition in Syria,” Russia and China vetoed it. Regardless, the violence in Syria is increasing and Assad is becoming more stubborn. As the situation in Syria becomes more problematic, China finds it difficult to remain neutral. Acoording to the article, “The core of Chinese policy is to pursue cooperation in the management of global affairs.” They have been opposed to military intervention and understand what it is like to have “Western intervention.” Even though, they want to be neutral, it is becoming more and more difficult. They vetoed the UN Security Council’ proposition to prevent western military intervention.
