Chinese Vice President Arrives in Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Alexander B. Pevzner - Vice President Wang Qishan of China is visiting Israel this week and together with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will co-host the fourth meeting of the Israel-China Joint Committee on Innovation Cooperation (JCIC), established in 2014. Wang's visit is important because China decided to upgrade the ranking of its representative co-chairing the JCIC. Wang is ranked No. 8 in the Communist Party hierarchy, above the vice-premier who previously chaired the body. Wang also enjoys the trust of Chinese President and Party Secretary Xi Jinping. The writer is the founding director of the Chinese Media Center (CMC) at the College of Management Academic Studies in Rishon LeZion, Israel.
