Sparknotes;
▪ American officials are worried that China’s Shanghai International Port Group running the port could jeopardize the security of America’s 6th Fleet that docks at Israeli ports. They also worry about Chinese firms acquiring Artificial Intelligence capabilities through civilian investments that could enhance a new generation of Chinese weapons.
▪ Established diplomatic relations in 1992 (Bill Clinton Presidency)
- $50 Million 1992 $5 billion 2010 > $15.3 Billion 2018
▪ Xi Jinping becomes President 2013
▪ In fact, the “new era” slogan dominated the Communist Party’s Congress in October 2017
- Xi’s philosophy of the new era rests on building up the overall political, economic and military power of China and raising its profile in global affairs.
▪ No doubt, Israel is a key aspect of China’s new era of great power status.
▪ Chinese investment in Israel greatly expanded to cover virtually most economic sectors… Interestingly, all these companies are state-owned.
- Food sector; Bright Food Group purchased a 77.7 percent stake in Israel’s largest food company Tnuva
-Construction sector; and transportation sector, China Civil Engineering Construction Corp was a subcontractor for the Carmel Tunnel and a partner with Israel’s Tanya Cebus Ltd. in building the Gilon Tunnel
-Railroad sector: China Railway Tunnel Group partnered with Israel’s Sohel Boneh in building Tel Aviv’s light-rail Red line. CRRC Changchn Railway Vehicles Co. Ltd. won the tender to supply rail cars for Tel Aviv’s Red Line.
-Air transportation sector; The Shanghai International Port Group is building a new terminal at Haifa Port with operation rights for 25 years.
-Sea transportation sector: China Harbour Engineering Company won the contract to build a new port in Ashdod.
-Agriculture sector: Chinese investment in Israel’s agriculture was greatly boosted by Chemchina’s acquisition of Adama for $3.8 billion (previously known as Machteshim-Agan).
-Academic sector: a number of Israeli universities have established joint institutions.
-Technology Sector; Chinese investments in Israel more than in the technological realm. According to a RAND Corporation study Chinese Investment in Israeli Technology and Infrastructure, between 2011 and 2018 Israel’s technology sector received the most Chinese investment, both in terms of monetary value ($5.7 billion) and the number of companies (fifty-four of the eighty-seven investments).
- Chinese companies (such as Ali Baba, Baidu, Huawei, Lenovo, Tencent, Xiami, ZTE, GoCapital, and Ping An) have invested in various companies and startups (such as Tabula, Pixelot, SQream, Visualead, Hexatier, Canaan Partners, Thetaray, Kaymera, Toga Networks, and Pebbles Interfaces) whose technologies can be used to perform or operate, among other things, satellite navigation, data mining, surveillance and economic espionage, intelligence collection, digital media, cybersecurity/espionage, cloud storage, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
-Technology Financial Sector; Moreover, a closer look at Chinese investments reveals that China is also heavily investing in technology-financial (fintech) companies and startups, with the apparent objective of creating comprehensive financial ecosystems combining financial, health, social, banking, insurance, education, and service sectors.
▪ These efforts have been supported by the Prime Minister’s Office that established the Israel-China task force, led by the National Economic Council and the Israel Export Institute. The task force has engaged in a dialogue with China covering the business sector, academia and government
▪ One could safely argue that China’s investment in Israel through its state-owned or state-affiliated companies is systematic and strategic.
▪ Significantly, Israel provides China with cutting edge technology including communications, internet and dual-use technologies.
▪ Israel offers China a gateway to Europe, enhancing not only China’s trade with Europe but also China’s political influence in the continent.
▪ China today is the largest trading partner with Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council. Saudi Arabia has inducted Chinese language into its educational curricula.
