%X This article seeks to examine the motives behind China¡¯s active foreign policy toward the Middle East, using Fei-Ling Wang¡¯s incentive structure of preservation (of its own political power), (economic) prosperity and (greater international) power. It argues that the political preservation of the Chinese Communist Party regime, China¡¯s economic prosperity and China¡¯s pursuit of power are three basic motives that shape China¡¯s relations with Middle Eastern countries. On the preservation front, continued economic growth, Beijing¡¯s policy of non-interference, and the importance of territorial integrity influence Sino-Middle Eastern relations. These relations reflect also China¡¯s prosperity interests since the Middle East provides China with the bulk of its oil imports and a market for manufactured products. Finally, China¡¯s relations with this region play an important role in its power calculations
