Il en résulte, selon Lin, que l’on se trouve désormais devant la possibilité d’une intervention militaire chinoise en Syrie, si Assad le demandait. Les Chinois suivent en général avec rigueur le principe de non-intervention, sauf lorsque leur sécurité nationale est en jeu. De telles actions indirectement déstabilisantes pour les provinces musulmanes de Chine représentent effectivement une menace pour la sécurité nationale chinoise, exactement de la même façon que les Tchétchènes présents en Syrie au nom du djihadisme représentent une menace similaire contre la sécurité nationale de la Russie. La Syrie ne cesse de se transformer un chaudron multinational où la plupart des puissances vont se trouver de plus en plus impliquées, jusqu’à bouleverser l’ordre international... En effet, d’un autre côté, les perspectives évoquées par Lin peuvent se faire avec l’habillage d’une intervention chinoise en Syrie du légalisme de l’OCS (Organisation de Coopération de Shanghai), où la Syrie est observatrice et veut devenir membre, de même que l’Égypte. Le conflit syrien pourrait dans les mois qui viennent, voir une transformation radicale de l’OCS en alliance militaire, maintenant que la Chine et la Russie ont pris la mesure du danger djihadiste.
«... Now that TIP has established a base in Syria and is expanding its presence and recruitment courtesy of its Turkish sponsors, China will have to follow through with its 2013 recommendation “Take fight to ETIM before threat grows” and deploy troops to Syria. Non-interference does not mean inaction on core interests
Some pundits may point to China’s non-interference principle as an impasse to action. However, China’s non-interference principle is more in reference to meddling in other countries’ domestics politics, such as US/western penchant for intervention and violating other countries’ sovereignty to overthrow autocratic regimes they dislike. Non-interference policy does not mean inaction when China’s security and interests are threatened. It is not difficult for China to take action when its core interests are threatened–that means violation of its sovereignty, territorial integrity, economic development and regime survival.
At the 2011 IISS Asia Security Summit, Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie spelled out China’s core interests as the following: “The core interests include anything related to sovereignty, stability and form of government. China is now pursuing socialism. If there is any attempt to reject this path, it will touch upon China’s core interests. Or, if there is any attempt to encourage any part of China to secede, that also touches upon China’s core interests related to our land, sea or air. Then, anything that is related to China’s national economic and social development also touches upon China core interests”.
If the TIP continues to gain power within the Army of Conquest that is a jihadi witches brew of various al Qaeda affiliates and salafist extremists, Xinjiang may become the next Afghanistan and follow the pattern of Afpak, Syria/Iraq, with local militant forces/cross border havens attracting foreign fighters, and enjoying material and diplomatic support from Turkey and other outside powers with shared ideology/interests. Moreover, the Assad regime is currently still the legal and UN-recognized government of Syria, despite only holding 1/3 of its territory. If Assad asks and gives permission for Russia, China and other SCO members to assist him militarily, that would be in accordance with international law.
This differs from the current US-led anti-ISIS coalition airstrikes in Syria that is neither operating under a UN mandate nor permission from the sovereign government, although it enjoys implicit permission to some extent from the Assad regime to fight ISIS. In 2014 Britain’s David Cameron hesitated to participate in Syrian airstrikes precisely due to fears of violating international law. With Erdogan waging an Islamist proxy war on China, Kurds, Assad, Sisi, Netanyahu via Al Qaeda affiliates, Army of Conquest, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, it is no wonder Syria and Egypt both applied to join the China-led SCO in June this year. »
