Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Hu Jintao met in Beijing Tuesday to discuss security plans. They focused on resolving the conflict in Syria. The meeting comes less than a day after an EU summit in St. Petersburg where EU leaders put pressure on Russia to help prevent civil war in Syria.

euronews explains—

“Russia and China both agree there should be no foreign intervention in Syria. Russian president Vladimir Putin is in Beijing for a state visit, and is being hosted by his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao.”

Both Russia and China have opposed foreign involvement, but have voiced support for Kofi Annan’s peace plan for Syria. As Al Jazeera reports, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry outlined the two countries’ plan to resolve conflict in Syria.

Another reason, why we should care less when they kill each other, Sunni-Shiite, Alawite-Sunni, or whatever Intra-Islamic bigotry causes...

It is likely that Russia and China wish to control the change in Syria to assure a Russia/China friendly puppet state, excluding the Muslim Brotherhood. Said state will continue much as before, just always operating with Russian approval and permission.

Michael Bristow from the BBC wonders if the strong alliance between Russia and China might be straining as the situation in Syria worsens.

LOL, wishful thinking. Russia and China both got screwed by NATO on Libyan oil and gold, it'll NEVER happen again. Besides, five other temporary Security Council members will also veto. US involvement in Syria will have to be extra legal.
