Abstract

The geo-economic and geo-strategic importance of international straits has made world powers such as China consider it inevitable to try to gain some influence in such vital arteries. The current research, using a qualitative method with a document analysis approach, is trying to answer the question, what is the position of the Bab al-Mandab strait in the strategic view of China? From an economic point of view, this strait is the main link between East Asia and the Horn of Africa, the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean and finally European countries. The lack of access to the strait is a challenge and obstacle on the way to the new silk road; Because both the long-term plan of this country for economic influence in the African continent through the horn of this region will face problems and also because focusing on the alternative route, i.e. the Cape of Good Hope, multiplies the distance and cost of reaching the European continent. . From a political point of view, the presence in Bab al-Mandab is related to China's effort and stable competition against the United States in the vicinity of the strait and the possibility of Washington threatening this country's interests in the future. The result is that China's hardware or military plans and software and development-oriented efforts in the two countries adjacent to Bab-al-Mandeb, namely Djibouti, focusing on the development of the multi-purpose economic and military port of Durala, and Yemen, focusing on strengthening the infrastructure of Aden ports. , Al-Makha and trying to penetrate Prim Island on the one hand and avoiding entering into regional crises on the other hand, can be evaluated in order to guarantee and consolidate economic and political goals.
