“Understanding between Peoples” of China and the Middle East Countries

Abstract: The Middle East is a natural ally of China in the “One Belt and One Road” construction. The “understanding between the peoples” of China and the Middle East countries not only has the profound historical basis, but also has strong realistic motives. The great blueprint of the “One Belt and One Road” will link the pursuit of the Middle East people in peaceful development with Chinese people’s dream in national rejuvenation, bringing new opportunities and endowing new connotation for mutual “understanding between peoples” on both sides. However, there is a large gap between the actual demand of the “One Belt and One Road” construction and the existing state of affairs in the understanding between the Chinese and Middle Eastern people. There are not only a lot of problems, but also many interferences and blocking factors. In the context of the “One Belt and One Road”, to further promote the “understanding between peoples” of China and the Middle East countries is a huge and systematic civilizational project, which needs in-depth research and understanding.
