SUMMARY:China’s Growing Role in the Middle East: Regional Geopolitics and
  US Policy
DESCRIPTION:ZOOM\n\nArab Center Washington DC is convening a panel of exper
 ts to discuss China’s evolving foreign policy and its increased engageme
 nts in the MENA region\, as well as their implications for regional geopol
 itics\, the global political order\, and US policy and influence. Is this 
 a new era of Chinese foreign policy and regional primacy? What is the scal
 e and scope of China’s role and influence in the Middle East? What are M
 iddle East states’ strategies and priorities in this regard? Is China pu
 rsing a new foreign policy strategy to assert its influence in the region 
 and in the Global South more broadly? Will China succeed in presenting its
 elf as an alternative to the western model for Middle East states and repl
 acing the US as the leading external power in MENA? Can China play a more 
 forceful diplomatic role in the region and lead peacemaking and reconcilia
 tion efforts? Is Beijing’s leverage dependent on its relations with Iran
 ? What are the implications for great power competition between the US\, R
 ussia\, and China? How is the China-US rivalry affecting US commitments to
  human rights and democracy in the region? What recommendations can be mad
 e for US policy in the Middle East in light of these developments?
