China’s Diplomatic Outreach-I: Israel-China Relations on an Upswing
Economic ties between China and Israel have increased considerably in recent years. In addition, Israel has also been working hard to strengthen political and cultural interaction between the two nations. In its 72 years of existence, Israel has been a nation with few friends except for the US. Thus, its diplomatic outreach with different countries have been considered one of Israel’s greatest political triumphs. Avid China-watcher, Dr James M. Dorsey, Senior Fellow at RSIS, is of the view that China’s international ventures are aimed at China dominating the Eastern Mediterranean with six ports in four countries: Israel, Greece, Lebanon, and Syria that would create an alternative to the Suez Canal.
