China’s interests in the Mideast continue to grow while the region remains mired in a dramatic political transition and escalating tension. The Paris attacks and ISIS execution of a kidnapped Chinese citizen in November 2015 highlight China’s emerging challenge of confronting terrorism as it expands its global footprint. Together, these incidents are transforming China’s traditional non-intervention policy, and prompting Beijing to take a more proactive stance in combating the threat of ISIS and Islamic extremists both at home and abroad. In the face of China’s new pro-activism in the Middle East, Beijing will become an increasingly important partner for Washington and Brussels in international efforts to combat terrorism and address other non-traditional security challenges. Rather than viewing the Middle Kingdom’s rise from a Cold War mentality as a zero-sum game challenging or supplanting U.S. role in the region, Beijing’s “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR) initiative could provide a timely platform for China, U.S. and EU to engage in cooperative security to counter-terrorism, reduce ungoverned spaces via economic development, and help promote stability and security in Europe’s eastern and southern neighbourhood.
