"Marketing to the Mullahs"

-------------------------------------------
The Chinese government has begun taking a more activist approach in the
Middle East, striking oil and gas deals with Iran and a number of Arab
regimes.  The Middle East Quarterly is pleased to send you two articles
today, the first by former Pentagon official and American Enterprise
Institute scholar Dan Blumenthal, and the second by Shanghai Institute
of Strategic Studies scholar Jin Liangxiang. They both examine
Beijing's new policies, and analyze what China's new activism means not
only for American national security, but also for Israel and the
Greater Middle East.
