UAE beats an ancient path to boost China trade

A recent visit to China by the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi showed the similarities between the age-old trade partners, and a divide that needs to be conquered.

When Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed walked this weekend into the Forbidden City, the palace of China’s ancient emperors, and crossed its sea of flagstones, he was retracing a once well-beaten path that linked the Arab world and the country known then as the Middle Kingdom.

The visit to China by Sheikh Mohammed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, reinforces a journey there last year by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
