Abstract

Analyzing China’s presence and influence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this study hypothesizes that China’s strategy is based on strategic ambiguity, balancing political support for Palestine with economic investments in Israel. Using qualitative analysis techniques, official Chinese documents, and case studies, the relationship between Xi Jinping’s Four-Point Proposal and Technological Diplomacy is thoroughly investigated. It concludes that China combines public defense of the two-state solution with the expansion of its economic partnerships and programs, reflecting a pragmatic stance in the Middle East.
