%X Since the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Israel in 1992, their relations have warmed up and developed rapidly in diverse areas. This study offers a new theoretical framework, strategic hedging behavior, for analyzing Sino-Israel relations, in order to understand the nature and scope of the hedging relationship between China and Israel. What impact will China¡¯s hedging relationship with Israel have on Washington¡¯s dominance in the Middle East region? The study asserts that this relationship is limited to economics and technology, and China¡¯s relations with Israel cannot replace Israel¡¯s strategic and special relationship with the US. However, the future of the hedging relationship countries is highly sensitive to the evolution of US¨CChina relations in the Middle East and other areas
