On this level, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei responded to the US remarks, regarding them as unacceptable. "This is totally unacceptable for us", Lei indicating in a daily press brifing.
"China has always determined its stance on the Syrian issue proceeding from the peace and stability of Syria and the Middle East, and from protecting the long-term, fundamental interests of the Syrian and Arab peoples", he went on to say.

On its part, the Asian country's top newspaper, The People's Daily, criticized Clinton's comments, regarding them as "super arrogant". Also, the Chinese daily asserted that after the Iraq war and its repercussions, Washington had no right to speak for the Arab people, Reuters reported.
"The United States' motive in parading as a "protector" of the Arab peoples is not difficult to imagine. The problem is, what moral basis does it have for this patronizing and egotistical super-arrogance and self-confidence?" the daily stated.

"Even now, violence continues unabated in Iraq, and ordinary people enjoy no security. This alone is enough for us to draw a huge question mark over the sincerity and efficacy of US policy", the paper's commentary further added.
