China's foreign policy in the Arab world is important because it
reflects China's general foreign policy. In this study, first
published in 1981, the author draws upon a wealth of previously
unpublished and inaccessible material to analyse Chinese attitudes
in three cases: the two Arab liberation movements, the Palestine
Resistance Movement and the Popular Front for the Liberation of the
Oman, and the established and independent State of Kuwait. Since
the Arab liberation movements played a significant political role
within their fields of operation, it was necessary for China to
decide whether these movements did actually fit in with Chinese
foreign policy objectives. Dr Behbehani's analysis of these two
case studies provides the basis for a discussion of whether China's
motives in supporting the liberation movements are theoretical or
purely practical. China's support for Kuwait's political internal
continuity is related to the stability of the whole Gulf region.
The author analyses Chinese support for Kuwait and the surrounding
conservative states on two main bases, political and economic, in
the form of trade. It is through these channels, particularly the
economic one, that China has sought to establish itself in the Gulf
and the Arabian peninsula.
