China and Russia agree entirely with each other's positions on the crisis in Syria and on North Korea's nuclear program, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Cheng Guoping said on Saturday in Moscow.
"The sides hold 100 percent coinciding positions on the issues of North Korea and Syria," Cheng, who was accompanying Vice Premier Li Keqiang on a visit to Russia, told reporters through an interpreter.
To be fair, I don't know if anyone could have diplomacy smart enough to successfully have an outreach to either Russia or China.
Of course, it would be nice if our executive branch understood that fact of life.
