Russia and China Unite on Syria

By

BEIJING, China. - China and Russia reiterate their united stance on the case of Syria during Russian President, Vladmir Putin's visit to Beijing today.

Both countries show support to the United Nations' envoy Kofi Anna's peace plan, however agree that international intervention is not something that either State would favor, according to BBC News.

Currently, Kofi Annan's plan is in play but due to increasing violence and chaos in Syria many are questioning the viability of the plan and are talking about a possible international intervention. However, China, which presently holds the UN Security Council's rotating presidency, does not support the forceful removal of Syria's State leader, President Bashar al-Assad, from power by the international community. Russia agrees.

Previously both nations had twice blocked UN resolutions censuring Damascus.

Russia and China voiced their sentiments after Syrian government announced today that it would not welcome ambassadors from Western States nor Turkey.

Recent reports show increasing levels of violence in Syria. In a Reuters report Monday, the Free Syria Army (FSA) announced that it has abandoned the UN ceasefire in order to defend the people. The cease fire was a part of Annan's peace plan.

BBC News reported that over the weekend over 80 people were killed by rebels, while 31 were reportedly killed by government forces Monday.
