In Beijing, a terse Chinese Foreign Ministry statement said Beijing's ambassador to Qatar, Zhang Zhiliang, had met and "exchanged views on developments in Libya" with Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the chairman of the Council, which is trying to offer itself as a credible temporary alterative to embattled Gaddafi.
Of course, it may be that China feels they'll be more successful saving Khaddafi from the inside rather than outside. Hard to say. China has been a critic of the bombing campaign and doesn't exactly leap with joy at the doctrine of intervening in the internal affairs of another state for human rights violations.
