What do you think of a potential pivot to China on the part of the new government? Do you think that’d be difficult given Turkmen/Uyghur foreign support for the new administration?
China is still subject to same sanctions regime wrt trade etc with Syria as everyone else. That's the main obstacle. Beyond that, Turkiye and China have decent ties even though Turkiye has harboured many Uyghurs, too. Developing trust will not be as difficult as it is being made out to be.
Ahmed - would really like to hear your take on the alawite civilian massacres. Is this condoned by Jolani? If not, is he going to be able to get it under control? How will any minority fighting force turn in their weapons after this? Is Iran or Russia funding opposition?
