China's recent successful mediation between Saudi Arabia and Iran has resulted in the resumption of diplomatic ties between the two countries. The Iranian President's rare meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus on May 3 augurs a tectonic shift in the region. Will Syria return to the fold and join the upcoming Arab League summit after years of estrangement? Will China's influence in the region spawn a "domino effect" of peace and cooperation? The Hub with Wang Guan talks to John Gong, vice president of Research & Strategy at the University of International Business and Economics; Joshua Landis, chair professor and director of the University of Oklahoma's Center for Middle East Studies; and Bobby Naderi, a journalist and political commentator. They highlight China's unique diplomatic approach in the region based on stability and dialogue. As Arab countries become wary of Washington's foreign policy goals, a "Pax Sinica" that promotes reconstruction and development might be in the offing.
