The Middle East had been always at the center of world’s attention not onlybecause of its strategic geographical location and rich natural resources, but mainlyfor it’s major role in political world affairs&being the birthplace and spiritual centerof main religions.In our research, we will be tackling the Middle East complexity that plays animportant role in maintaining the World Peace.With the development of its economy,China started to have a significant growth of interests in many continents which wasled China to play an increasingly important role in the international politics. MiddleEast was one of these continents&with it’s conflicts, it become a concern&animportant study case among Chinese academic world. In this research we will focuson one of the organizations called Hezbollah (The God’s Party) who presents thecomplexity of Middle East. The current studies in the world about Hezbollah, arelacking comprehensive, objective, un bias analysis. Besides, a lot of important topicsare still not very well researched at Chinese domestic studies. So in order tounderstand the influence of Hezbollah in Middle East politics, we went deep inHezbolla’s history, its theological foundation, political ideology, organizationalstructure&finally it’s development process that presents the reality of Hezbollahcomprehensively and objectively.In this research, we highlighted the support of the Lebanese Shiite and thelong-term hostile relations between Israel and Lebanon beside other factors thatcreated a rich environment for the existence of Hezbollah. The ideology of Hezbollahwhich has a religious background is based on Shiite theology "The Wilayet Faqihule", theory of Jihad and resistance movement. The source of these ideology can bereflected in the main ideology and programs of Hezbollah. The paper also details thedevelopment of Hezbollah: from a religious secret organization that continuouslyfighting against Israel depending on its own armed forces&finally becomingsupported by many regional forces; This allowed Hezbollah to participate in thenational politics in Lebanon&become Lebanon’s legitimate ruling party. Hezbollahenjoys big support from the people of the Middle East due to their anti-American andanti-Israeli stance. In the same time Hezbollah worked actively to establishcooperation at the international fronts, building good relationship with Iran andother countries, that allowed them to guarantee sustainable political development. Yet,with the enormous pressure from United States&Israel, Hezbolla’s development was not smooth. Besides, their relation with Iran, being a religious party in seculargovernment&having an independent armed forces under their control in Lebanon hasaffected Hezbolla’s support domestically®ionally. These challenges madeHezbollah aware about the necessity to be more flexible to face these big challenges&adjust their strategy and policies to meet the new developments.Finally, we believe that Hezbollah will succeed in facing these big challenges&continue playing an important role in the Middle East politics; therefore China shouldpay more attention to Hezbollah&it’s development.
