Syria’s Arab League return proof that when US shadow shrinks, peace spreads: China
China hailed Syria's official return to the Arab
League and blasted the west for instigating violent regime change in sovereign nations.

China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin on
15 May welcomed Syria’s official return to
the Arab League, saying the move “is conducive to the strength and unity of
Arab states” and can ensure “peace and stability” in West Asia.
Wenbin stressed that ending Syria’s isolation is
“something to be happy about, except for a certain country.”
“The US unabashedly criticized [normalization with
Syria] and exerted pressure.
The Spokesperson for the US Department of State openly opposed the readmission
of Syria into the Arab League and the normalization of relations between US
allies and Syria. US lawmakers even openly denounced the Arab League,” the
Chinese official said.
He went on to place the blame for the disaster in
Syria at Washington’s feet, saying: “In fact, it is because of the US pressure
and sanctions that Syria has suffered 12 years of war with related catastrophic
consequences lasting until now.”
“Syria’s return to the Arab League once again proves
that when the shadow of the US shrinks, the light of peace spreads,” Wenbin
highlighted.
The Chinese official also blasted the US and “a
handful of countries” for instigating violent regime change efforts in dozens
of countries and for their policy of condemning “every action that does not
serve their selfish hegemonic interests.”
“This kind of twisted ‘political correctness’ will not
get them anywhere anymore,” Wenbin added.
The comments from Beijing came on the same day Syrian
officials attended their first Arab League summit since the nation was
suspended from the bloc in November 2011.
Last week, foreign ministers from Arab League member
states agreed to readmit Syria, as nations across West Asia that joined the US
in pushing for regime change in Syria have taken steps to reconcile with
President Bashar al-Assad’s government.
The Arab League’s decision came two months after
Beijing brokered a landmark agreement to restore diplomatic relations between
Saudi Arabia and Iran, in what many observers say is evidence of diminishing US
influence around the world.
The western-backed war in Syria has displaced more
than 13 million people and killed around 300,000.
Over recent years, Damascus has regained control of
large swathes of the country from US and Turkish-backed extremist groups with
the help of Russia and Iran.
The US army and international coalition occupy at
least 28 declared military sites in Syria, distributed over three governorates,
mainly Hasakah (17 sites), Deir Ezzor (nine locations), and Homs (two areas).
The distribution of Washington’s illegal bases
resembles the cordon surrounding the sources of oil and gas located east of the
Euphrates River, representing most of Syria’s underground wealth.
On top of this, the US still maintains around 900
troops in Syria who were illegally deployed
to the country.
