developing case study. In this context, China-GCC coming
perspectives will be more promising.
‘Arab Spring’ became an illustrative factor that the Middle East
region is still remaining ‘vulnerable’ area, and that turbulences are
still actual in the 21 st century. Beijing will continue to put more efforts
for ensuring its ‘completely stable ties’ especially with the Council, as
it is going to meet huge portions of China’s energy needs.
Time is on China’s side, its diplomacy towards GCC is flexible and
attractive, and bilateral interdependent economic cooperation will
flourish. China’s leaders will develop new and more successful
foreign policy objectives in order to safeguard their global actor status
in ‘valuable’ Gulf region. I argue, that together with its rapid
economic drive and growing energy needs Beijing will try to
maximally strengthen its global status in Gulf region, preserving its
complex geostrategic interests.
