Edward Yeranian

   CAIRO - China is playing host to Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed, who
   is in Beijing on a state visit. Like the UAE, China aspires to increase
   its role as a maritime trading player.

   Arab media played up Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed's state visit to
   Beijing, where he met with top Chinese leaders and discussed trade and
   security ties. China was the UAE's second largest trading partner in
   2017, with bilateral trade of $60 billion.
