Document Summary
News story: china and russia vetoed the un security council"s resolution on syria. The chinese headline read: chinese veto increases chances of syrian peace. the best way of ending the syrian crisis would be escalating sanctions from the un. Had the russians abstained, the chinese probably would have abstained as well (chinese are hiding behind the russian veto) and russia is sending arms to the regimes. The chinese don"t use their veto a lot, they and them and the russians have an allergy to interventionism and not a great fondness for democratization. News story: there was a hang up between 2 palestinian groups on who would be. The 2 groups are working to compromise on who will have power. The donors are not happy about a hamas-fatah joint government. And both sides recognize that the conflict and split between isn"t doing them any good. Could be referring to the capacity of the state to administer, to consolidate, etc.
