A Reading in the Syrian - Chinese relations.

Résumé

China's foreign policy toward Syria was based on the crossroads of interests and ideology,
both of which were and remain the original determinants of China's foreign policy, which
is rooted in Chinese political thought. Between the geopolitical and economic importance
of Syria to China, and China's persistent policy of refusing to interfere in the internal
affairs of countries, as well as achieving justice and return of rights, Beijing has been able
to put the features of its foreign policy towards Syria in full harmony with its national
interests and defend the principles it believes in, which formed a special identity of
Chinese politics.China's position of the war on Syria, in addition to considerations of
interest and ideology, was based on China's pursuit of preserving and strengthening its
influence in the equation of international power balances in the Middle East. Beijing has
become one of the main poles in the world, and the development of China's foreign policy
towards Syria is a reflection of China's rising position and strength .When the war against
Syria began, China's position on the Syrian state was positive and constructive, considering
that what is happening in Syria is an armed conflict between the legitimate state and
extremist outlaw armed groups, and welcomed the efforts to resolve the Syrian crisis

peacefully within the framework of the Geneva Conference. According to Beijing,
Damascus is an "ideological exception” in the Middle East, in terms of the fashions of
thoughts and framed ideological options of the state and Syrian politics, as well as the
cultural diversity of Syrian society and its cultural and social variety.
