China wants to restore the old Silk Road to serve as the new Silk Road of the 21st century; it has therefore proposed the One Belt One Road (OBOR) project. The initiative was taken by President Xi Jinping with a view to connect¬ing China with other 60 countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe through the network of newly developed land and sea route corridors. With this strat¬egy, the Middle Eastern region plays an important role as a link between the three continents through both sea and land routes. China’s proactive policies to search and maintain its interests in the Middle Eastern region are evident in its recent diplomatic role in the conflict in Syria, establish¬ment of the first overseas military base in Djibouti, and dissemination of Chinese policy documents to the Arab countries. Besides, given the economic interests which mainly focus on energy, trade and investment, China also hopes that collaboration with partners in the Middle East will effectively intercept the spread of terrorism from the region into China. It is evident that China is also taking on the role of a new superpower that challenges the existing superpowers in the region. Finally, the Middle East is an important region in which China attempts to shift the global balance of power to multi-polarity and to create the world of harmony.</p>}, number={1}, journal={ASIA PARIDARSANA}, author={หวันสู รุสตั้ม}, year={2019}, month={Jun.}, pages={37–64} }
