Beijing’s Influence Grows In Middle East

Posted by Matt in September 14th, 2006

Until the 1990s, there was little active Chinese involvement with Middle Eastern affairs. However, its position of neutrality has not always been to Beijing’s advantage. China now wants to engage more with the region, because:

– it wants greater regional influence at a time when U.S. prestige in the Middle East has declined; and

– it needs an increasing, stable supply of oil.
