As one of the important components of China’s Middle East diplomacy and overall foreign aid, Middle East states have received aid from China since 1954. While the research in this regard is fragmented to a certain extent, the problem of interpretation has become more and more controversial. This paper attempts to review the history of China’s aid to Middle East states through the integration of research data, through three stages of division and analysis of typical forms of aid. This paper finds that the medical teams of foreign aid sent by China in the 1960s and the labour export in the 1970s were developed from the practice of China’s aid to the Middle East states and then extended to other regions. In the early 21st century, China further strengthened its technological cooperation and human resources development cooperation with Middle East states in the new era of rising economic status. This article finds complexities in the role of Middle East states in the field of international aid and the dynamic changes in actual aid needs, due to the lack of authoritative information on relevant regions, total amount of country aid and the amount of funds for each type of aid, as well as the deviations in definitions of ‘aid’ at home and abroad, which has limited Chinese literature on aid to the Middle East
