Editor's note:
Wu Sike, China's Middle East envoy, talked to China Daily about the Syrian crisis and efforts to resolve it.The inaugural round of dialogue on Middle East affairs between China and the US was held in Beijing on Aug 14. But differences in opinion remain deep between the two sides over Syria. Will such a mechanism help solve the disagreements?
Disagreements indeed exist between China and the United States over Syria. Primarily, China insists on respect for Syrian sovereignty and a political resolution through dialogues, while the US wants the current president to step down as a condition and is supporting the opposition through various ways.
