This book explores the extent to which China’s rise is changing the economic, security, political, and social-cultural aspects of the Middle East – a region of significant strategic importance to the West and of increasing importance to the East. With its growing dependence on Middle East oil and gas, China has more at stake in this region than any other Asian power and, not surprisingly, has begun increasing its engagement with the region, with profound implications for other stakeholders. The book charts the history of China’s links with the Middle East, discusses China’s involvement with each of the major countries of the region, considers how China’s rise is reshaping Middle Easterners’ perceptions of China and the Chinese people, and examines the very latest developments.

"Authors Ehteshami and Horesh, both professors at Durham University, aim to create a balanced understanding of China’s role in the Middle East by contrasting current Chinese policy with that of the Maoist era, emphasizing China’s economic power, and ascertaining whether Mideast elite perspectives of China (and Chinese perceptions of the region) have changed. Sources include newspaper articles, journal articles, and books in English, Farsi, Arabic, and Chinese. Overall, the study is a useful addition to the literature, but less thorough in its analysis than James Reardon-Anderson’s The Red Star and the Crescent (2018)."--G. A.
