VENUE:FPRI
China in the Middle East After Assad
April 28, 2025 | 10:00 am to 11:00 am | Asia Program
About the Event
Join FPRI for a virtual discussion of China’s evolving engagement in a rapidly shifting Middle East. What does the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria and the ongoing struggle to stabilize and unite the country under the new transitional government mean for Beijing and its interests in the region? How will China navigate shifting regional geopolitics defined by a debilitated Iran, diminished Russia, and an emboldened Israel and Turkey, as well as an increasingly unpredictable United States?
