China's top newspapers said that Western efforts to effect regime change in Syria was erroneous, citing previous campaigns in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.
The U.S. used as a "travesty" the veto by China and Russia described the UN resolution over the weekend.
In Syria, government forces continued attacks on the city of Homs.
Mortar shells were steadily - about a minute apart - reported on Sunday, the BBC's Paul Wood in the central Syrian city.
Burials were talking place at night, our correspondent said local officials, as it was too dangerous to do it in daylight because of the snipers.
At least 28 civilians by security forces in all of Syria were killed on Sunday, especially in Homs, said the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights campaign group.
A report indicating the group said, a corresponding number of Syrian troops were also killed.
Human rights groups and activists say more than 7,000 people have been killed by Syrian security forces since the insurgency began in March.
The UN stopped estimating the number of deaths in Syria after it passed in January 5400, it was too difficult to confirm.
The government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says at least 2,000 members of the security forces were killed fighting the "armed gangs and terrorists."
"The draft resolution, which sought to realize a regime change in Syria does not adequately reflect the state of affairs" in the country, the newspaper China Daily said in its editorial on Monday.
"The only pressure on the Syrian government and explicitly tried to force their leader Assad to withdraw the resolution of message sends in armed groups and opponents of his regime that they have the support of the international community.
"This is without doubt the Syrian situation even more complicated," said the article.
It went by the example of Libya, saying that the fall of Col Muammar Gaddafi's regime did not bring "democracy and freedom" to Libyans, but pushed the country close to "fall into a sectarian civil war."
Meanwhile, a comment in the People's Daily, the mouthpiece of China's ruling Communist Party, "the veto design does not mean the Security Council resolution that we are giving free rein to this heartbreaking state of affairs to continue."
Previously, Russia had also defended his decision, the draft UN resolution veto, said the proposal was unbalanced."Licence to Kill '
The double veto by Moscow and Beijing on Saturday drew an angry reaction from around the world.
Said, "What has happened ... at the United Nations was a farce," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
"Faced with a castrated Security Council, we have our efforts outside of the United Nations with our allies and partners who have to double to support the Syrian people the right to a better future," she added.
Analysts say Mrs Clinton seemed to be the founding treaty of nations similar to allude to the Contact Group on Libya. This group - a collection of Arab and other countries - managed international support for the opponents of the late Col Gaddafi.
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe called the Russian-Chinese veto a "moral stain" on the UN. He said that Europe would strengthen sanctions against Syria, and finally "The regime will have to recognize that it is completely isolated and can not continue."
The draft resolution - which had already been watered down in an apparent attempt to overcome Russian objections - was of 13 of the 15 members of the UN Security Council when it was put to a vote supported.
The Syrian National Council, the largest opposition group, said Russia and China were "responsible for the escalation of acts of killing," calls the veto "an irresponsible step, kill with impunity tantamount to a license to."
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the two countries made a "big mistake" and throws them "turn their back on the Arab world."
The BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut says, the Russians seem to be feeling the pressure. They send their foreign ministers, Sergei Lavrov, speaking to President Assad in Damascus on Tuesday.
Russia wants to help mediate a political solution, but the opposition did not see the Russians as an honest broker, our correspondent says.
