If they do, it should not be viewed as a rearguard action designed to undermine the R2P norm, but rather an effort to assume co-ownership of it. In terms of getting serious about saying “never again” to mass-atrocity crimes, that is about as positive a development as anyone could hope for.
仍有待观察中国——以及其他金砖国家——现在是否会正式支持责任保护思想。如果答案是肯定的，这就不能被视为破坏R2P范式的顽抗，而应该被视为假设R2P范式共有的举措。从严肃地说出“再也不发生”大规模暴力犯罪的角度而言，这是人人都应追求的积极发展趋势。
