Abstract: The establishment of full diplomatic relations in January 1992 between the People's Republic of China and the State of Israel did not follow the normal pattern in that if did not result in a significant improvement of relations. Their desire for closer and mutually beneficial relations came into conflict with a growing American desire to impede such a relationship. As a result, while the Israeli overtures towards China were not only long, tedious and at times frustrating, the normalisation of relations as well failed to match up to the expectations. Indeed, the Sino-Israeli relations appear to have been better off before they were formalised. This third party intervention by the United States inhibits both Israel and China from reaping the fruits of normalisation and pursuing new avenues of cooperation.
