Abstract:

In the context of Sino-US strategic competition, studying the perception of US think tanks on China's participation in Middle East affairs is helpful to judge the dynamics and trends of US government development. The study selects 24 representative research documents from eight mainstream American think tanks as research samples for literature analysis, sorting out the main cognition and characteristics of American think tanks on China's intentions, actual situation, impact on the United States, and how to deal with China's growing influence in the Middle East. The results show that US think tanks' perception of China's participation in the Middle East is mainly negative, which is affected by the situation of Sino-US strategic competition and their own ideological attributes. However, due to the complexity and long-term nature of Middle East affairs, US think tanks also advocate cooperation between China and the United States in the Middle East. my country should view the views of US think tanks dialectically, strengthen communication and exchanges, and accelerate the construction of a Middle East discourse system with Chinese characteristics. At the same time, it should continue to play a greater role in the security and development of the Middle East and eliminate the impact of negative perceptions with practical actions.
