China did not have to help the rebels like KSA and Turkey, but at least it could use its influence to persuade Russia and Iran to give up on Assad, because even if Russia and Iran can be fools, China is no fool. Definitely China knows that Assad is not going to last. I think that would have been a more responsible thing to do, instead of going along with Russia and use veto.
What seems to have happened and happening is that Chinese are trying to keep both sides happy, the Russians and Iranians on one side and the Saudi's the other side. Its a delicate balancing game. Saudi's seem to be happy with your explanation, that China is standing with Russian and Iranian ally. I guess Saudi's consider a good relation with China very important for their future, it is a big oil customer and a rising super power.
Why Assad is history? Assad simply cannot control 75% Sunni population without giving political representation to them. Also he does not have unlimited resources like Arab Monarchs and he does not have legitimacy like the Arab Monarchs, who have deep roots in their community. Assad is from 10-12% despised Alawite minorty who used to be called Nusayri's.
Despite all Russian and Iranian efforts (lets say China is not in on this), they will fail, because my feeling is that Turkey and KSA are not going to give up. If Chinese strategists could foresee how this will turn out, they should have put more pressure on Russia and Iran, I think it did not take place.
One thing I think it is difficult for Chinese to understand is that it is not just the US (and its proxy Israel) interest, there is Arab interest here to integrate and consolidate the region, under greater GCC and Arab League. Iran has no or limited role to play in this, Iran is an outsider at least in Syria. Saddam's removal was a boon to Iran, but even a US allied Iraq, even if its Shia, it may still remain closer with Arab League nations than Iran. Shia Sunni sectarianism has its role, but its not the only factor, there are other factors involved that determines the geo-strategic alignment of a nation like Iraq - history, language and ethnic origin and then there is the issue of staying within the Western orbit, which is true for most Arab and Muslim nations. Iraq, even to help Iran, may stay within this orbit, just so it does not become an isolated Pariah state like Iran.
World is increasingly becoming more than the power play between "super powers" or great powers like USA, EU, Russia and China - local interest in some cases will supersede these great power interests. The sooner the great powers realize this, the better it will for them in the long run.
