China Asks Syria to Stop

By Micah Halpern
I've Been Thinking:

The situation in Syrian situation continues.

According to reliable reports several hundred Syrians have crossed the border into Lebanon to seek refuge and safety.

And the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement today published in Xinhau news, saying: "The Syrian government and all parties concerned should immediately, fully and unconditionally cease all acts of violence, particularly violence against innocent civilians."

Yes, the Chinese voted against international action in the Security Council and, yes, now they have issued this statement.

China wants to end the violence and protect civilians, but they do not want international intervention in Syria. They want to make certain that what is happening in Libya does not happen in Syria.

And the Chinese certainly do not want to open the door for the Security Council to interfere in any internal issues - even involving the gross violations of human rights.
