Also, it seems there are uncorroborated Chinese media reports that China has dispatched ships to the Mediterranean.

At G20 China warned that military intervention in Syria would hurt the world economy and push up oil prices, reinforcing Vladimir Putin’s attempts to talk US President Barack Obama out of air strikes.

China Officially Backs Russia On Syria, Warns “Military Action Would Have Negative Impact On Global Economy”
