Israel faces the classical question of the“trade versus security”dilemma in conducting security relations with China.In the context of such a dilemma,the article provides a new lens to understand the historical development of Sino-Israeli security relations by analyzing certain aspects of Sino-Israeli security relations,namely the trade-off between security and trade concerns,the intertwinement of domestic politics and alliance politics.The historical development of Sino-Israeli security relations verifies the determining role of the US in such a game of three players.Although under US pressure,Israel severed all military transfers to China,the general business relations with China holds a promising future.
