Mehmet Ali writes from Doha: Qatar has just achieved a financial coup. It has signed an agreement with the Chinese authorities to permit its sovereign wealth fund to invest $5 billion in yuan-denominated stocks, bonds and other securities. Doha has a fund estimated at about $100 billion.
Qatar supports both moderate and Salafist movements throughout the Middle East. A delegation of Chinese Muslims attended a conference on Muslim Economics and Finance last December. Qatar has revolutionised broadcasting in the Middle East through its Arabic and English language programmes. However Beijing has protested about coverage of China in the media. The English language correspondent lost her accreditation after a documentary on slavery which included comments about prison labour in China. Qatar is not afraid to ruffle feathers.
