Chinese diplomacy shift: Focus on the Middle East through the United Nations
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's leading role in high-level talks over the Israel Palestinian issue at the United Nations highlights China's shift in diplomacy. This is unusual as it brings the discussion from the region to the UN, where China currently holds the rotating presidency. Chinese ambassador Zhang Jian's interaction with Israeli ambassador Gilaad Erdan generated online buzz, with Jian reminding Erdan to show respect for the briefer at the Security Council meeting.
