No, kao da su svi smetnuli s uma Kinu, tihog saveznika Damaska, iz koje poslednjih meseci stižu vrlo konkretne vesti. U čitavom ovom haosu nekako se zaboravilo da je Kina, pre izbijanja rata, u sirijsku naftnu industriju već uložila milijarde dolara te da je Sirija sastavni deo kineske razvojne strategije povezivanja azijskih, evropskih i afričkih tržišta - Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
Kineski mediji već su objavili da će u prvoj fazi poslovne invazije na Siriju učestvovati 150 kompanija, a ključnu ulogu u velikim projektima trebalo bi da ima Azijska banka za infrastrukturne investicije (AIIB). Kina je, kaže se, zainteresovana za ulaganja u poljoprivredu, industriju i koridore koji povezuju Siriju, Irak i Iran.

The China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) not only is a shareholder in the top two Syria oil companies, but also signed hefty deals for research and development assistance, while Sincochem owns rights in one of the two largest oil fields in Syria.
Damascus is very much aware of the subtle Chinese “leading from behind” Syria policy. Beijing, allied with Moscow, thwarted every NATO-induced scheme to condemn/sanction Syria at the UN Security Council.
