Abstract

Hard military advances have been the earliest means of achieving the goals of the great powers throughout history. But changes in the global arena have led to the emergence of newer tools to advance political goals. The most important tool that is being considered by big governments today is the economy. This is why many other powerful countries in different models are trying to take advantage of this potential. China, one of the emerging powers that are becoming the world's economic superpower, has also adopted policies and strategies in this regard.
This research analyzes and examines the strategies chosen by China with a descriptive-analytical approach and using theoretical documents and hypotheses in this field. This study categorizes the strategies used by China in the Middle East into three categories: political circuits, contextual circuits and cultural circuits, and according to the strengthening of each of these circuits, the speed, intensity and stability of economic development and It will increase its political influence in the international arena.
