Growth in infrastructure, influence in politics, energy collaboration, and innovation in technology, trade, and capital are some of the strategies that have defined China’s strategic involvement in the Middle East. Since China saw promise in development of infrastructure such as the Belt and Road Initiative, it has worked to strengthen economic relations and increase connectivity among nations in a region ripe with opportunities. However, the quest for it is not simple.
