What’s China up to in Syria? Economic realpolitik, basically

Syria's reconstruction will cost hundreds of billions of dollars. China is being clever about getting its share of the pie

Notice how the author frames the economic policies of China in regard to the rebuilding of Syria: it's merely economic realism. That is the only way that this capitalist oriented website can interpret China's policies in Syria so that capitalist indoctrinated people can understand it. The title and especially the above subtitle of this post suggest a rather cynical motivation behind China's policies--it's good for Chinese business. Yes, it is good for Chinese business, but it is also very good for Syria. This is another illustration of the win-win philosophy that informs the policies of China's Communist Party which is in stark contrast to the Empire's (see my commentary here).
