China backs Russia after veto of UN demand for end to bombing of Syria's Aleppo | South China Morning Post

China’s UN Ambassador Liu Jieyi said some of the content of the French draft “does not reflect the full respect for the sovereignty, independence, unification and territorial integrity of Syria,” while the content of the Russian draft did.

“We regret that the (Russian draft) resolution was not adopted,” he told the council.

Russia only gained the support of China, Venezuela and Egypt for its draft resolution. Angola and Uruguay abstained, while the remaining nine council members voted against.

Churkin, who is council president for October, described the dual votes on Saturday as one of the “strangest spectacles in the history of the Security Council.”

The growing multipolarization is beginning to show how the situation could develop and war will become more probable.

Yes, because China has a long, long history of respecting the territorial sovereignty of other nations.
 
China didn't support Russia. China abstained.

They didn't want to alienate their Western clients. Where else is the money in China coming from?

The USA has debt and China has a surplus. The USA keeps borrowing money, but recently China hasn't loaned us any. As a matter of fact China sold (called in) $600 billion of USA debt last year.
 
There seems to be lots of Americans who think that amything other than 100% subserviance to the whim of America is the same as war with the USA. That if this happens with any significant power its' WWIII.

No. This is not the case.
