“U.S. officials have raised some concerns with Israel over Chinese investments in Israeli high-tech companies and civilian infrastructure that could increase China’s ability to gather intelligence and acquire security-related technologies. While Chinese state-owned companies remain engaged in some specific infrastructure projects, including operations at Haifa’s seaport set to begin in 2021, in May 2020 Israel turned down the bid of a Chinese-affiliated company to construct a major desalination plant.” Source: Israel: Background and U.S. Relations in Brief
