Abstract
China's soft power is mainly used as a tool for defensive rather than offensive purposes, including Beijing's emphasis on stability and peace with all countries; promoting a better image of China; Correcting foreign perceptions, and refuting the “China threat thesis”; Ensuring energy security for the continuation of economic development to cooperate more with developing countries; creating a network of allies; And trying to compete based on soft power with big powers is considered long-term. This chapter begins with an analysis of the concept of soft power and its foundations in international relations and continues to examine the components of China's soft power in the Middle East. So, the question is what are the main dimensions and structures of Beijing's soft power in the Middle East? In response, the Chapter hypothesizes that China's sources of soft power are based on the three elements of soft power, namely, culture, political values, and the nature and style of foreign policy as defined by Joseph Nye.
