The Middle East is a crucial region located in the heart of the world in terms of political geography. It represents a highly sensitive network of communication and transportation points, overlooks important straits, and possesses vital and strategic natural resources. These features and others have made it a focal point for great powers and empires throughout history. The United States of America has recently aimed to reformulate the region geographically, politically, socially, intellectually, economically, and militarily in line with its policy of hegemony. However, this influence is currently facing numerous challenges, including the awareness of both Russia and China of the Middle East's significance, benefiting from the successive failures of the United States in the region. China once considered the Middle East to be of relatively little importance, but today this part of the world occupies a much larger space in Chinese national security calculations. Its unprecedented interest and participation in the Middle East increase the possibility of launching its ambitions in the region. China strives to protect its growing interests there while avoiding taking sides in any conflicts and disputes in the Middle East. Additionally, China is very cautious about getting involved in Middle East disputes or getting too close to any country in the region. This extreme caution prevents China from announcing a specific policy or strategy for the Middle East and from making difficult commitments to any of the region's countries, other than those necessary to maintain friendly trade relations and practical diplomatic and security ties.
