Since the early of 1980s china has treated according to low profile foreign policy to protect itself from negative consequences of international crisis. Although china is ally of Iran and Russia in Syria but has tended to avoid tensions with opposite sides. Therefore china behavior is somehow against United States and its allies but it is not originated from the china desire to geopolitics competitions. China has not involved in Syria crisis directly but seeking to acquire proper economic position at post crisis era. In this article the researchers try to answer the following question: How has been the china approach in Syria Crisis? How will be the china role in post crisis Syria?

Following the formation of the fourth debate in the field of international
relations theory, culture became important as well as the tangible elements
of shaping behaviors. In these theories, culture and strategic culture as
internal factors that shape the identity of actors in the international arena
became highlighted, and influenced the attitudes of elites and governments
as well as the methods of crisis management of the countries. Thus,
identifying factors that shape the identity of a nation and its principles,
including strategic culture can help understanding the actions of nations in
international crises. This issue reveals its importance in the Middle East
crises (most notably the Syrian crisis) due to the great sensitivity of the
region. In this paper we attempt to answer this question that, how China's
strategic culture affects its behavior in international crisis management in
Syria.
