http://www.mediaite.com/tv/carson-on-china-in-syria-my-sources-are-better-than-obama-admin/

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said on Friday that his “sources are better” than those of the Obama administration when it comes to whether China is involved in the Syria conflict.

Carson has claimed, based on his sources, that Chinese forces are operating in Syria. Asked on Thursday whether that is true, White House National Security Adviser Susan Rice said the U.S. has no evidence or intelligence suggesting that the Chinese are involved in Syria...

"In the class of 1968 at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, Mahmoud Abbas was one of

Ben Carson has never had any office and does not seemed to have worked outside the US. He also does not seem to have a foreign policy team - so where is this coming from. the internet?

(This even as he wants to spin - "the chinese are there" to mean they have sold Syria weapons. http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/260033-carson-clarifies-remarks-on-china-in-syria
