China has always maintained a "balanced" foreign policy in the Middle East. Beijing distances itself from the sharp conflicts in the region, and replaces that with positions calling for reducing tensions and bridging the gap between the parties.
Chinese officials' diplomatic interactions with the region strictly adhere to Beijing's policy of balancing the Gulf states and Iran and the Israeli occupation. China renewed its call for holding an international peace conference on the Palestinian issue and formulating a “road map” to implement the two-state solution.
