THE CHINESE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC'S ROLE IN MIDDLE EASTERN AFFAIRS SINCE THE LATE 1940'S IS ANALYZED IN SUMMARY, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO ITS INVOLVEMENT IN THE PANARAB MOVEMENT AND THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT.
Abstract
RED CHINA'S INVOLVEMENT IS CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF ITS OWN INTERNAL POLITICS AND REVOLUTIONARY IDEOLOGY AND AS IT RELATES TO COMPETITION FOR COMMUNIST INFLUENCE WITH THE SOVIET UNION. SPECIFIC REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITY IS SEEN AS HAVING SHIFTED FROM OVERT ENCOURAGEMENT FOR A PAN-ARAB PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC TO MORE COVERT SUPPORT AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO ARAB GUERRILLA MOVEMENTS, PARTICULARLY THE PALESTINIAN FEDAYEEN. THE PAPER ALSO EXAMINES CHINA'S EARLY RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL AND THE INFLUENCE OF CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS ON SINO-ARAB DEALINGS.
