DR. ROBERT BIANCHI INTERVIEWED
In The Guardian, May 8, 2013
“China welcomes Binyamin Netanyahu—Visits from Israeli prime minister and president prompt speculation about China’s possible role as a Middle East mediator.”
Interview with Dr. Yiyi Chen on Hebrew/Jewish Studies in China and Sino-Israel Relations
