The Point: The Arab world looks for another superpower. Is it China?

China and the Arab world have entered a "historic" new era, say some observers. To that end, the fourth China-Arab States Expo has opened in China, with a fresh focus: on how to boost trade in agriculture. As China has become the Arab world's second-largest trading partner, why do both sides now see each other as vital allies? What challenges do they face to deepen this relationship? And beyond doing business, should China get involved in the politics of the region?

Guests: Kassem Tofailli, the deputy secretary general of the China-Arab States Expo – and also president of the Arab Chinese Cooperation & Development Association; as well as Li Guofu, a senior research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies; and from Israel, Meir Javedanfar, a Middle East analyst.
