China's Nuclear Diplomacy in North Africa and Middle East

The Diplomat published on 9 October 2018 an analysis titled "China's Nuclear Diplomacy in the Middle East" by Samuel Hickey, Arab Institute for Security Studies in Amman, Jordan.

China Zhongyuan Engineering Corporation is the overseas nuclear project platform of China National Nuclear Corporation and has offices in Egypt and Algeria in North Africa. China's domestic nuclear expansion has stalled since 2016. It must expand to new markets and increase its bureaucratic efficiency to support its massive nuclear industry. China will likely continue to set up nuclear export offices and expand its nuclear presence.
