Twenty Years of Sino-Israeli Relations:

A New Era of Israeli Technological Engagement

Guest Speaker: Howe Wang

Two decades after the inception of bilateral diplomatic ties, the focus of Israel and China's commercial interaction have witnessed a transformation from arms sales to high-tech collaboration. Recently, Beijing's determination to redirect foreign investment towards agriculture and cleantech, in combination with its shift of focus to Western China, have given the Israeli technology industry further opportunities. However, long-term bilateral relationship-building remains an issue. Commercial and diplomatic uncertainty still lies ahead due to China's upcoming leadership change and Beijing's burgeoning energy partnership with Iran.

Howe Wang is a current Israel-Asia Leaders Fellow at the Israel-Asia Center and Yale Fox International Fellow at Tel Aviv University, where he is working to facilitate Israel and China's cleantech investment and collaboration with both regulators and industry. Howe is pursuing his master's in environmental management with a focus on environmental economics and financing at Yale University. Prior to that, he worked as China Researcher for The New Yorker magazine's China Bureau and covered China's cleantech progress.
