العلاقات الصينيّة- الخليجيّة للمدةِ بين عاميّ 2001 - 2012

Abstract

       We can say that contemporary China foretells of a new global power, whose position is no less than other influential global powers such as the United States of America and Japan if it does not exceed its importance and ambition, and this may make the twenty -first century a Chinese century par excellence.  The nature of China's relationship with the Gulf states came as a result of the desire of the Gulf states, in general, to diversify their external relations, in light of three main dimensions, the first of which is determined by the change of the conditions of the world order and the nature of the global powers dominating this system , the second is through the changes and transformations that affected the same Chinese policies, and finally  through  changing the same Gulf perceptions and the desire to deal with new developments, including those bumpy world forces such as China and India, and we can understood the importance of the region for China in light of its increasing need for different energy sources of oil and natural gas to manage Chinese economic expansion . Despite China's attempts to diversify its sources of oil and natural gas, it gets 50% of its oil neds from the Middle East, and 30% of its needs from Saudi Arabia and Iran.nThe development continued in Chinese -Gulf relations until 2012, and the region became important to China because it is an important source of energy supply and investments, and important in terms of exporting Chinese goods.
