- Summary:
- The Syrian civil war is entering its sixth year of conflict and is complicated by the sheer number of regional and international stakeholders and actors. Among nonregional actors, Russia and China have been the most significant supporters of the Bashar al-Assad regime and have jointly cast a string of vetoes in the UN Security Council, rejecting sanctions on Syria over alleged use of chemical weapons by the Assad government and e orts to oust him from power. Sino-Russian cooperation in Syria is driven by shared opposition to a possible US-led regime change, Beijing's antiterror and antiseparatist campaign, and Russia's support for China's poli- cies elsewhere, including Chinese activities in the South China Sea. The partnership, however, is limited by divergent strategic interests in the Middle East region as well as the overall asymmetry of the relationship between Beijing and Moscow.
