China has voiced its firm opposition to "outside armed intervention" in Syria, or "any attempt to forcibly promote government change".

Li Bao-dong, China's permanent representative to the UN, made the statement at a General Assembly session on Syria's current state. Li said that China has been following closely with the El-Houla massacre in western Syria where at least 108 people were reportedly killed. Li called on all parties inside Syria to immediately implement the Security Council resolutions and the six-point Annan plan.

The peace plan includes withdrawal of heavy weapons and troops from population centers, a daily halt in fighting for humanitarian aid and treatment for the wounded, and talks between the government and the opposition.
