Marshall Plan for the Region: 20 billion dollars .. Beijing will become Washington again!

2018/7/21 01:33:10 PM

Saudi Arabia's newspaper "Arab News" reported that China has resorted to economic means to extend its influence in the Middle East, just as the United States after the end of World War II.

The newspaper launched the announcement of Chinese President Shi Jinping to grant loans worth 20 billion dollars to the Arab countries and provide financial assistance in excess of $ 100 million to Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Syria and Yemen and the creation of a consortium of banks to manage a fund worth $ 3 billion, indicating that the timing of the announcement coincided with the anniversary of the 70 Marshall Plan Which ruled the United States from 1948 to 1953 in multi-billion dollar economic aid to support the reconstruction process in Europe.

China is aiming to build a strategic company with the Arab League to become the Middle East's peace and stability portfolio, the paper said.

The Chinese leadership has acknowledged these measures, which are part of the belt and road initiative, and that the adoption of a non-interference approach to political and security problems in the Middle East is a flimsy issue. The paper also said that the 2016 China-China policy paper was the most important Chinese official acknowledgment that Beijing's infrastructure, economic and development goals in the region overlap with political and security considerations.

The Chinese paper said that the Chinese government hosted representatives of the Syrian regime and the opposition, expressed its willingness to play a role in stabilizing Syria, and that the Chinese Vice Foreign Minister visited Saudi Arabia And Iran after the withdrawal of a number of Gulf countries ambassadors from Tehran following the attack on the Saudi Embassy in 2016, and that Beijing opened its first military base outside the country in Djibouti recently.

In parallel, the newspaper tackled China's economic and trade relations as an essential tool for its interests in the region, citing China's superiority over the United States in 2016. It has become the largest investor in the Arab world with nearly $ 30 billion in foreign direct investment. China has spent more than $ 35 billion on the Belt and Silk Initiative over the past five years, particularly on infrastructure structures such as railways, harbors, pipelines and power grids.

On the other hand, the paper stopped at the political turmoil, conflicts and insecurity in the Middle East, explaining that it will continue to pose major challenges to Chinese intentions.

Compared to the Marshall Plan, which was a soft power tool for US policy and values ​​and enabled the United States to make gains on the political and geostrategic levels of the world, the paper expected Beijing to achieve success like Washington Link
