China’s former Ambassador to Israel, Zhao Jun, loves the State of Israel. He claimed that upon arrival in Israel he discovered a wonderful country. The present Chinese Ambassador to Israel, Ghao Yaping, also greatly admires Israel. She declared while visiting the Technion, “Both China and Israel are Asian nations with long histories. Both countries attach great importance to education. I believe to have good friends as well as a partner is important not only for China but also for Israel." Jewish contributions to world civilization are not the only aspect that the Chinese admire in regards to Israel; they also greatly value Israel as a fellow ancient civilization, which according to American China scholar Joseph Levenson is of “paramount importance” due to the tendency to favor “historical thinking in Chinese culture.”
