China and Israel: 25 years of economic cooperation success

The paper examines the dynamics and current situation in the field of Sino-Israeli business and scientific and technological cooperation. Thanks to the use of a large number of diverse sources, it was possible to identify some interesting tools developed by the leadership of both countries for the development of bilateral cooperation. The author also analyzed the prospects and consequences of China’s significant interest in the scientific, technical and logistical complex of Israel. The study showed, that in recent years there has been an intensive activation of Sino-Israeli cooperation in several areas. If the commodity-raw material economy is connected with the countries of the Muslim East of the PRC, then with Israel - scientific and technical. Today, China is making considerable efforts to form an innovative warehouse economy. This is taking place against the backdrop of a general increase in China’s trade and economic expansion. And here the geographical position of the Jewish state makes it attractive to the Asian giant. Israelis today generally view positively China’s increased interest in itself. However, in the future this may lead to too serious dependence, including political, on this country. While there is no certainty that Israel’s political and economic elite is fully aware of this.
