Chinese intervention comes as leaders gather for G20 summit hosted by Vladimir Putin, who has threatened to send a missile shield to Syria if US launches attack without UN backing
China has joined Russia in opposing military strikes on Syria, saying it would push up oil prices and create an economic downturn.
The Chinese intervention came as G20 leaders gathered in Saint Petersburg on Thursday for a summit likely to be dominated by Syria. The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, is expected to allow the issue on to the agenda for dinner, reflecting the reality that the fate of the world economy is inextricably intertwined with the risk of a Middle East conflagration.
The Chinese deputy finance minister, Zhu Guangyao, told a pre-G20 briefing: "Military action would have a negative impact on the global economy, especially on oil prices – it will cause a hike in the oil price."
this looks like the "previous" opposition has renewed it's former stance and threatening the US with retaliatory efforts aimed at our pockets oil. just wondering had the congress allowed green energy research yes Solyndra like companies to lead the way we could be a lot closer to eradicating foreign oil from our shopping list, instead of now competing with China who is now partnering with Russia to defend their way of life tyranny. tyrants stick together, they may someday want to kill off their people just paving the way.
