This edited volume critically examines the changing dynamics of
multidimensional relations between China, Middle East and North Africa
(MENA) and Asia in an emerging 'multiplex world'. It challenges both
extremes of 'Sinophobia' and 'Sinophilia' by studying the real
'pragmatist' China.
This book, in a foreword, introduction and thirteen chapters,
problematises what MENA and Asia means to China in the age of
neoliberalism, explores what are the real or perceived pillars of
Sino‒MENA-Asia relations, and sheds light on how MENA can benefit from
its relations with China while keeping a clear distance from the harms
of neoliberal authoritarianism.
