China's Approach to the Middle East
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 янв 2024
- On the back of Beijing’s role in the Saudi Arabia-Iran rapprochement last year, accession of several Middle East countries to BRICS, and growing attention to the Global South in both Beijing and Washington, China’s engagement with the Middle East is worth greater attention. How are Chinese policymakers and scholars assessing their country’s goals in the region? What challenges do they envision to greater economic and security cooperation in the years ahead?
Please join the Interpret: China project for a panel discussion unpacking these important questions, drawing on recently translated primary source materials. The panel will feature Jon Alterman, Senior Vice President, Zbigniew Brzezinski Chair in Global Security and Geostrategy, and director of the Middle East Program at CSIS, Gedaliah Afterman, Head of the Asia Policy Program at The Abba Eban Institute for Diplomacy and Foreign Relations at Reichman University, and Yun Sun, Senior Fellow and Co-Director of the East Asia Program, and Director of the China Program at the Stimson Center. The panel discussion will be moderated by Lily McElwee, Deputy Director and Fellow, Freeman Chair in China Studies.
This event is made possible by support from the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

Chinese leader treats All Arab as Equal
If CSIS keeps inviting this type of low quality of experts, I guess no one will be interesting in your report soon or later😂😂😂
That John dude sounds like he is high he have to over think the stuff he says.
I mean why have these so called experts talking together if the direction of there thinking is only one way. It's always the China bad USA great scenario.
China approach rooted in wisdom of Daoism and Confucius thinkings, a free gift to this troubled world by Chinese civilization. On the other hand, Americans still hold strongly a super version of its Monroe doctrine, and very proud of such past
in chinese understanding, many times, "preemptive" = "interference"
Chinese diplomatic people speak Arabic language to The Arab too officials ., but the Western WHITE Power will not go below their White Power Superior Complex to speak Arabic to Arab Royal members in WEST ASIA..
Exactly! I’m glad I’m not the only one that notices this. The Chinese treat other powers as equals while the west demands them to speak English and talks down on others like as if they were children
If you want a good debate with high quality you have to invite the opposition side for a true discussion. What I heard is the parroting one from another.
I also am very disappointed with the Chinese lady who should know better about China. They are all very disappointing without really knowing the Chinese strategy just like most of the western media😢
Not a good one I have to say.
"it seems like"and "it feels like" is so academic 😂😂😂
Jai Hinduja. Biden message to the Arabs is Remember October 6 and Call me Satan reincarnate if you want.
You forgot that American response to China's rise is based on American perceptions and feelings. Its truly an academic endeavor.
Everyone can easily to figure out from how Saudi treads Biden and Xi visiting. For US it's embarrassing 😂😂😂 nothing For Biden, But red carpet for Xi
Only John Alterman has articulated well, we need china much better than ever, China deserves to lead the global order instead of United States, I vote for china for a reason.
CSIS keep interesting such discussions as usual, Thank you so much.
No, no one should lead other countries that's the whole point, power corrupts, if there are laws they should apply to everyone not just certain countries.
A quick browse strongly suggests CSIS goes back to not having comments on its videos.
So funny, no one from the Middle East in the forum. And Jon gives his views from sitting in Washington, reading articles. Also quoting from his article soon to be published in Western circles does not cut it anymore Jon.
John enunciated it very clearly. China’s Middle East policy is subordinated to US policy and not much else. Driving a wedge within the western allies of US. and supporting US adversaries either overtly or covertly is its limited goal. It is looking ahead at positioning itself at an advantage in ME after the present crisis is resolved or contained.
China’s genocide of Uyghur is ignored. Its appalling human rights record is well known yet it feels it has a right to call out Israeli action in Gaza; yet supports Putin’s war crimes in Eastern Ukraine and its attack on a sovereign nation.
We shouldn’t really talk about which western country has attacked more sovereign nations without the approval of the UN Security Council. China sees the hypocrisy loud and clear and that’s why it’s being silent on the Russia/Ukraine issue; just as quiet as it was when US invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yugoslavia, Syria. UN Chatter can not apply to everyone else but trampled by Western Nations.
The uyghur genocide narrative is patently false. China's human rights record is underpinned by the massive improvement in living standards of their people.
China has the right to take any opportunity in any region
Some people are used to coalitions of the willing , invading countries under command. China is not interested in spearheading coalitions and impose its will. As for Israel, China could not abandon the historic ties with the Palestinian people just to maintain good relations with her. After all, Israel already has a permanent protector, come rain, come sunshine.
China is always promoting peace and providing humanitarian assistance . China doesn't care what god you worship or what political system you use. China will remain netural and encourage peaceful resolutions.
China doesn't support Israel, doesn't support palestine. China doesn't want to add fuel to the fire and adding more players will only worsen the situation. China supports peace and speaks ups for fairness.
Chinese will to help to rebuild Air ports in Syria...
wow... are these the people that pass for experts nowadays?? SMH!!
China has to engage in the Middle East either for her interests in energy, or for the support for her allies there, actually thinking in the same way as the us , or as the others
China doesn't tell others to do this or do that. China doesn't care what god you worship or what political system you use. China doesn't interfere with others' internal affairs. China always promotes peaceful resolutions.
China goes around the world with infrastructures and investments. US goes around the world with war and destruction.
China interest are promoting peace and stability to develop a prosper world
Chinese will put Defence weapons in Syria to defend Chinese construction project in Syria
Get as much CCP money into US Denominations!

Proffesor Alteman gave a vivd picture of the rigidity of China policy with the anecdote of the well used notes for the speech given by China's special envoy to the Middle East at a conference in the region. I'm sure that will remain with me for a very long time. The second takeaway from Professor Alteman is somewhat ironic, given the first as it is how anchored throughout the discussion to a position, and rather like "the speech" that had been given before and would be given again m the Professor's contributions were essentially a single talking point 'adaptively reimagined' and restated in the context of points made by other panelist. Not verbatim regurgitation like "the speech", but no more less saying exactly the same thing, namely,
1. Actions by China are part of its US policy not a Middle East Policy.
2. China talks a lot but does nothing serious even to protect its self interest in the area .(Implied circular argument that (1) evidenced by (2)
3. Great shock and surprise China does not do more. (An incompatible response if indeed (1) is a genuinely held belief).
It’s just “China Bad” messaging and it is sad to see that coming from someone holding such esteemed positions. Sad but not surprising, and explains why the policy and political elites in the US hold the views they do (dogma aside) when the institutions that provide the analysis are blighted with hard wired ‘bias’. The lens you view China through is irrelevant when you’re wearing blinkers.
I had absolutely no problem differentiating between Professor Alterman and Professor Afterman - night and day Professor Sun’s insights were at times mesmerising,
Chinese ambitions are from Alaska to Australia.
And are America's any less
The oil exporters and their customers depend on cheaper use of the Red Sea. America substantially does not any more. One wonders whether the Americans could
for say 60 days declare the route unsafe and "protect" potential users from going through the Red Sea by blockading its entrance and by doing so wake the world up.
The time could be extended if necessary.
This is a real question because drones are now very cheap but expensive to protect against.
It has always seemed to me that American ingenuity and finance have
made possible the very lives of most people who live in the Middle East but America gets no respect.
I have even, in despair, thought that with Middle East people and the Peoples Republic of China no good deed goes unpunished.

Saudi Arabia, Iran, would notice this .
This old Jon Alterman sounds like a bitter China-hater with little insights on the subject matter. Of course China looks at this its middle east policy with the lens of Sino-US relations, which is the top-1 geopolitical issue for China; but China also has a large share of its oil supply from the region and of its intl trade, so it is just silly to say that is not a primary concern.
His demeanour and comments were so obvious that he's a China hater 😏
I totally agree Jon is a total ass.
J Alterman doesn't appear to be an academia, but more of a spin doctor like most political commentors on Western media.
Europeans / Americans play chess ... the Chinese play a game called Go ... tells much about the cultural differences
Money is the agility, when US poor and can't offer $$$ to the middle east countries, what Do you expect their response?😂😂😂
BRICS provides a purchase system other than the dollar.
it actually doesnt, brics is a laughing stock
@@Antiwumao it's all fun , until the US pisses off India 😂
The illan omar like DenocRATS play a good role in breaking US India relationship. It's time Biden regime ask her and her friends to cut bullshit. Else India has options. France , Israel, Russia etc.
China should be more aggressive in that region
Jewish military Radar equipments are in Southern Hymmalaya with the Indian military forces ..
The Israeli military equipment is being supplied to the Myanmar military junta
That talking about Netanyahu and israel, criticising china vaccines, I guess he's zionist.
you guys don''t social media, right? Chinese people is cheering Houthis atteck.
WHY not ... Chinese can cheer for who the Chinese like... American are cheering for Jews
There must be A Balance of Power in West Asia ... Not letting for USA alone to dictate in West Asia
Chinese Foreign policy in West Asia... Chinese will build a New Rail line from LATAKIA to IRAQI BORDER
China is letting the US secure the middle east with its money and soldiers lives while increasing trade in the middle east and it's profits. The US is the night club bouncer while China is the the night club business owne😂😂
Peacekeeping requires effort and time. 😂😂😂
Chinese know Israel military is in Southern Hymmalaya with Indian
China knows Indian armed men are no joke , under Modi leadership.
Chinese lost BIG in Libya
I don't care about anyones opinions at this juncture. Is what I am saying.
Face is everything to China. This flimsy situation provides them a FACE opportunity globally, substance of no importance here.
It is really interesting how no one in the Middle East is speaking bout the genocide of the Uighurs, the largest Muslim minority of China anymore. Anyway, both the Chineseand the US are in the middle east for petrol and natural gas, not because of their love for Arabs. And probably China will have to turn towards Central Asia for that once the Americans take away their protection umbrella from the Chinese ships or ships carrying Chinese goods.
I have a suspicion that China felt the threat from the Muslim population would come from outside the country influencing that domestic population
You just know from the first few seconds this is going to be a shit show …
just another bunch of idiots in an American think-tank talking nonsense about something they don't really know much about. What's new ?
Another repeating Doctrine.. America ' s Doctrine : Jew First in WEST ASIA
White Race American diplomat wouldn't lower himself to speak Arabic to Arab officials ..
Israel supports India so Chinese supports Arab
I hate my life in america
North Korea is open for business, my good friend.
Pi 3.14 π was first recorded by Moses in the Exodus Tabernacle blueprints near 1400 BC not 250 BC by Archimedes. 330-15-1=314
Calculation based on the description of the Tabernacle's curtains in Exodus 26:8-9, 12-13 with vs13 being the lynchpin. Here's a breakdown:
Total Length of the Curtains: The Tabernacle had 11 curtains, each 30 cubits long. So, all the curtains together were 11 x 30 = 330 cubits long.
Folding One Curtain: One of these 11 curtains was to be folded in half. When you fold a curtain that is 30 cubits long in half, it becomes 15 cubits long.
Adjusting the Total Length: After folding one curtain in half, the total length of all curtains would be 330 cubits (from all 11 curtains) minus 15 cubits (from the folded curtain). So, the adjusted length is 330 - 15 = 315 cubits.
Extra Length at Both Ends: The same folded curtain is supposed to have half a cubit of material hanging off at both ends of the Tabernacle. Since there are two ends, that adds up to 2 x 0.5 = 1 cubit.
Final Calculation: To find the final length, subtract this extra 1 cubit from the adjusted length of 315 cubits. This gives 315 - 1 = 314 cubits.
This was discovered by a Christian engineer from Wisconsin in 2015. Geometry π people will see this as dome shaped. However Josephus the Historian describes the traditional rectangle shaped Tabernacle. 2 different shapes.
or
(C-curtain L-length) 11Cx30L= 330CL, 1Cx30L= 30CL÷2= 15CL-330CL= 315CL, 315CL-.5CL-.5CL= 314CL Exodus 26:8-9, 12-13
or
330-15-1=314
Exodus 26:13 is Pi 3.14
How soon can you leave ?
Change comes from within both yourself and your Society recognising those faults are the first steps to change
America fails to recognise its own faults has the emperor imagined he had the finest set of clothes available
You would hate your life anywhere, the location has nothing to do with it.
