China supports Russian proposal for Syria

China added its backing to a Russian plan that would see Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile put under international control, Reuters reported on Tuesday.

During a regular press briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Beijing welcomes and supports the proposal put forward by Moscow on Monday. Hong added that a delegation from the Syrian opposition was scheduled to visit China on Tuesday.
