China’s ties with Syria are being tested by the sudden downfall of Beijing-friendly Bashar al-Assad, but analysts predict China and the new government in Damascus will take a pragmatic approach to cooperation and investment.
The swift regime change came one year after Assad made a high-profile visit to China. The trip, which included a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, was widely seen as a sign of Beijing’s continued support for his rule.
China and Russia, both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, repeatedly vetoed resolutions to impose sanctions on Assad over the course of Syria’s decade-long civil war, but unlike Moscow and Tehran, Beijing has denied any direct military involvement in the conflict.
