That's nice of the Chinese.

There the US/EU were thinking that sanctions were hurting the Assad regime... then along comes dear old uncle Hong and helps them out.

Well perhaps like Russia the penny will start to drop that there may well be penalties in the future for their relationship with Assad. So without Assad the Sino-Syrian relationship may be radically changed. So does anyone really buy the opinion that "the Chinese don't give a rat's ass about Syria"?

Oh yes and the other smart guy said:
