At the just-concluded sixth ministerial conference of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, held in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping called upon his Arab counterparts to upgrade their strategic relationships with China, by deepening bilateral cooperation in areas ranging from finance and energy to space technology. This reflects China’s broader goal – established partly in response to America’s “pivot” toward Asia – of rebalancing its strategic focus westward, with an emphasis on the Arab world.
而刚刚结束的北京中阿合作论坛第六届部长级会议上，中国国家主席习近平建议阿拉伯国家升级其与中国的战略关系，深化从金融和能源到空间技术等领域的双边合作。这反映出中国更大的目标——这一目标部分是为了应对美国的亚洲“支点”政策——战略焦点向西倾斜的再平衡，以阿拉伯世界为重点。
