Why do China and Russia support Syria?

There are several reasons why Russia supports Syria.

First, both Libya and Syria are major purchasers of Russian weapons. If Libya is manipulated by the United States, and if Syria is manipulated by the United States again, Russian arms exports will suffer losses.

Secondly, Russia has military ports in Syria, which is of great help to the Russian navy’s ocean-going deterrence. Now, the United States is joining forces with NATO to curb the development of Russian missiles and deploy a large number of anti-missile systems around it. This will greatly weaken Russia's missile deterrent capabilities. Russia needs a platform like Syria to tear apart NATO's anti-missile system. China supports Syria because Russia supports it. Because the U.S. military has recently returned to the Asia-Pacific, and neighboring small countries continue to provoke territorial provocations. China needs international support and military alliances, so Russia, one of the impermanent countries, is a good choice.
