Analysis On Interests & Risks Of China In The Middle East

With the enhancement of comprehensive national strength and international environment changes, the Chinese concept of national interests has made great breakthrough in China's national interests, of which the connotation and denotation has been expanded accordingly. It means that the Middle East, where there has been the great geographical and energy value since then the beginning of "World War I", starts to be satisfied for a part of the strategy of China's "The Extended Neighbors". So the study of China's interests & risks in the Middle East becomes naturally consistent with the contents of times in the field of international political research, both a strong theoretical reality and important actual connotations.This paper has complied with the request of study above, and developed the following: First of all, based upon three levels including individuals, nation and international system, paper gives the analysis to the formation and evolution of the Chinese concept of national interests, and then a brief understanding to the specific national interests of China. Second, paper sorts out the political, economic, security and religious and cultural interests of China in the Middle East and makes the estimate to their tendency. Once again, from four latitudes, each of which is here the time horizon, risk scenarios, risk indicators and risk reference points for China in the Middle East to the risks, paper is faced by a holistic, systematic and thorough analysis. And paper seeks to find out the main causes of the risks, all of which can be categorized into the international political theory and the international community of the reality. Paper believes that a long period of time needs to be reached before China's interests in the Middle East can be achieved in the sense of fundamental, and that the current main risks to China in the Middle East come from the field of security and economic challenges. Fourth, Given China's current diplomatic theory and practice of diplomacy as the background and complying with a logic principle from the point to plane, paper brings major measures accordingly to avoid the risks, including such four aspects as deepening of bilateral relations, making an urged kind of peace in the Middle East, breaking the containment from a certain major power and devoting pains to a new international order. Finally, paper shows the prospects of relations between the Middle East and China, regarding to both of the perspectives from interests and risks of China in the Middle East.Paper has not been limited into the usually analytical model for the topics above, but made the introduction of a framework in the field of risk management analysis so as to help itself, and besides applied the relevant principles of economics to support its discussion and analysis. Paper has concluded: In the "anarchy" of the international system, the state is different from the individual, with no "third parties" committing to playing the role of payment or compensation for the damage to national interests. In the Middle East where there have happened so many disputes and complex contradictions, China should be particularly in the need of having a strong sense of risks, and should have to them a full and thorough sort of recognition and analysis, but also take a well avoidance to them, so as to be sure that the perceived risks can be resolved to a minimum. Only in this way can China steadily foot in the Middle East and ultimately get her best share of interests in the Middle East.
