Did The Proxy War In Syria Just Attract Another Big Time US Rival?
[Daily Caller] Chinese officials revealed a desire for closer relations with Syrian counterparts during a meeting over the weekend.

Chinese Rear Admiral Guan Youfei met Sunday with Syrian Defense Minister Fahd Jassem al-Freij in Damascus, reported China’s Xinhua News Agency.

China plans to offer its continued support to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s beleaguered authoritarian regime. "China and Syria’s militaries have traditionally maintained a friendly relationship, and China’s military is willing to keep strengthening exchanges and cooperation with Syria’s military," Guan told al-Freij during the recent Damascus meeting.

Without revealing any specifics, Xinhua’s report said that China would provide "military training" and "humanitarian aid" to Syria.
