IBTimes: China's People's Liberation Army to join Russian troops in Syria to fight Isis?
After Russia sent in its elite military unit Spetsnaz to take out the Islamic State (Isis) terrorists, a report has now claimed that China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) is about to join forces in Syria.
Citing a well-placed Syrian official Express.co.uk reported that China will be joining the Russians in the coming weeks, while some other reports claimed that the Chinese have already joined the operation.
According to WND, even as the Russian vessels launched precision-guided cruise missiles on 7 October at rebel positions from the Caspian, a "Chinese naval vessel continued to loom menacingly in the background, maintaining its presence in the Mediterranean Sea amid Chinese denials that the People's Liberation Army will enter the Syrian conflict."
WNU Editor: A lot of talk in various blogs and social media on a possible Chinese military contribution to the Syrian regime .... but still no official word from China and Syria.

There are rumors (and even photos) that China recently delivered military vehicles to SAA, type is 2x4 light vehicle, amount is unknown, probably in small scale. It's logical to China to send at least advisors to Syria, to earn battle real experiance, because PLA is in lack of it.
At the least, the PLA will have, or already has, observers on the ground.
