Chinese President Xi Jinping's "One Belt, One Road" (OBOR) vision,
heralded as an attempt to revive the pre-modern Silk Route, is
intended to strengthen West Asia's economic links with China
through ambitious infrastructural projects. Central to this are
fast-track rail links, funded by the newly-established Asia
Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB), which has its
headquarters in Beijing. This book explores the implications of
OBOR and the AIIB for the Middle East/West Asia, and addresses a
number of key strategic questions arising from China's new
initiatives. These include: how far are the strategic imperatives
underpinning China's policies connected to the political dynamics
of Xinjiang and the spread of radical Islam in Central Asia? How
are Middle Eastern stakeholders' views of China affected by the new
initiatives? How does China's increasing involvement in the Middle
East/West Asia affect other regional powers with ambitions in the
region, notably Russia? The book also considers the impact of
China's increasing presence on individual countries, including
Saudi Arabia and Israel.
