Özet
The strategic importance of the Middle East and its abundance of resources attracted major
powers, especially China and the United States. With two-thirds of the world's crude oil
reserves located there, energy security is crucial. China, which is historically connected to
the region through the Silk Road, has recently increased its involvement, primarily to secure
oil and gas supplies for its economy.
Contrary to historical trends, China has maintained a low profile in the Middle East,
prioritizing trade and cultural exchanges over physical presence or spheres of influence.
Since its founding in 1949, China has focused on building diplomatic legitimacy and
aligning with liberation movements to challenge foreign hegemony.
By recognizing that economic expansion and foreign interests are critical to national
security, China recognizes the importance of energy security in ensuring the continued flow
of its economy amid rapid growth. This shift signals a more comprehensive and proactive
Chinese engagement in the Middle East, moving away from historical isolation toward a
greater international presence. This research explores China's evolving foreign policy in the
Middle East, with a case study on Sino-Saudi relations from 2013 to 2022, highlighting the
changing dynamics and future prospects.
