Or, at least, nobody who has much clout on a global stage. Which, really, is a serious problem with american military and military based industries. But that's another rant.
China doesn't have the adequate military force to do such a thing, and with the way global politics works it'd essentially kick off WWIII. Plus it's in both your best interests not to piss in the pool. In order for a country to establish a no fly zone over your country they'd have to have an adequately sized air force, a sizeable amount of political and economic power, and they have to be able to do so without making it a serious shitfit.
Nobody really cares about Libya that much, and you guys have stakes in the country already. So, really, you're protecting your country's interests. Or so the argument could go if things get dicey and nobody buys the "we're just making sure he doesn't bomb his own cities/someone else does it for him" argument.
