Co-Hosting Trade Conference with Netanyahu, China's Vice President Wang Qishan Hails Israeli Technology
(Times of Israel) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and China's Vice President Wang Qishan co-hosted a trade and innovation conference in Jerusalem on Wednesday. "Israel leads the world in electronics, information technology, modern medicine, and agriculture," Wang said. China has become Israel's second largest trading partner, following the U.S. "China and Israel are a perfect match," said Dale Aluf, the director of research for Sino-Israel Global Network & Academic Leadership (SIGNAL), a think tank that promotes closer Israeli-Chinese relations. "China may be a huge market, but it has a lot of domestic problems - pollution, desertification, an aging population. Israel has the technology to solve those problems." "We have to be cautious about the types of things we sell to China," said Aluf. "Defense technology is off the table. But we can sell health care and sustainable development."
