This manuscript examines relations between China and the Middle
East in historical context. It highlights some of the most
important events that characterize the ties between China and the
Middle East, and examines their relationship in key areas that
include energy, trade, arms sales, culture and politics.
The centre of China s relations with Israel is arms sales and
advanced technology, while the core of Sino-Saudi relations is oil.
Iran and China are tied with deep historical, civilizational,
cultural and political relations, but China s current interests in
Iran centre on oil. Relations between China and the United Arab
Emirates (UAE) centre on trade. The UAE serve as a primary hub for
Chinese business corporations not only in the Gulf or the wider
Middle East, but also in Africa and the world. China s relations
with Algeria have been based on political co-ordination since the
early days of the Algerian War of Independence and the early days
of the People s Republic of China. China provided Algeria with
political, diplomatic and military support to accomplish its
national liberation from France. Since then, their partnership has
developed.
Finally, the book develops a tridimensional approach in which
China s ties with Middle Eastern countries are viewed as an outcome
of interaction between three actors in each situation. The book
reaches the conclusion that China s national interests in the
Middle East are only increasing, and it is anticipated that
Sino-Middle Eastern relations and strategic partnerships will be
enhanced in the near future, provided that China is not perceived
as undermining the Arab Spring.
