From the past decade, China is becoming an increasingly significant player in the region, playing a little extra cautious for being a newcomer in the region. European policymakers are closely keeping an eye on how China will play a role within the Middle Eastern Security architecture. The report argues that China still has a little appetite to challenge US-led Security Structure in the region, but the growing presence of China in terms of economy is affecting the European interests. The report details the methodology for the European policymakers to monitor China\u2019s growing influence on regional stability and political dynamics, especially in relation to sensitive issues like surveillance technology and arms sales. It further recommends for Europeans to increase their engagement with China in the Middle East, aiming to refocus its economic role on constructive initiatives. China\u2019s capacity in these times to invest, build infrastructure, and provide public services in developing countries has drawn significant attention from Middle Eastern States and increased their expectations. But the report also claims that China\u2019s role on the security front is very limited, that is why Middle Eastern States still prefer to count on United States more than China.<\/span><\/p><p><b>By:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Saima Rashid, CIGA Research Assistant<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Camille Lons, Jonathan Fulton, Degang Sun, Naser Al-Tamimi Affiliation: IISS, Zayed University, Fudan University, Independent Researcher Organization\/Publisher: European Council On Foreign Relations Date\/Place: October 21, 2019, U.K. Type of Literature: Policy Brief Number of Pages: 33 Link:https:\/\/www.ecfr.eu\/page\/-\/china_great_game_middle_east.pdf Keywords: China, Middle East, U.S., Europeans, Security.
