Note: The report cites
Shashank Joshi, Libya Could Be the Last Place Where the West Is Allowed to Intervene; The rising powers of China and India will not give Nato countries so much leeway in future. Daily Telegraph, Sept

("The political cultures of China and India were forged after long experience of foreign incursion. * * * Britain, despite devolution and Scottish nationalism, is fundamentally secure in its territorial integrity. India and China are not – and neither wishes to set a precedent that allows outside powers to redraw their maps.")

My comment: If you read the article without knowing the authorship, you may conclude it is one of thoses shrill editorials of Xinhua.

Quote:

"*中国派出级别较低的观察员与会*  相比与会的其他一些国家而言，比如法国出席会议的萨科齐总统以及参加会议的美国国务卿希拉里.克林顿，中国派出的特使在外交级别上较低。

"*中国成为唯一不承认利比亚过委会的大国*  星期四，俄罗斯承认全国过渡委员会为利比亚的“执政当局”。这个宣布使得中国成为联合国安理会5个常任理事国当中唯一一个没有正式承认全国过渡委员会为利比亚新领导集团的国家。
