Why is China loaning Israel $400 million for programs such as healthcare agriculture education and emissions reduction?

Government loans of this nature are actually meant to promote Israel's foreign exports.

The agreements were signed to introduce some Israeli high technology to China. Israel to provide loans, one can quickly prepare funds to start the project, from the agreement into the substantive development; second, the bank loan, but also a commercial investment behavior, there is a return on profits; third, but also the focus of this 400 million U.S. dollars in government loans, will require most of the imported equipment, raw materials, etc., imported from Israel.

This kind of government loan, in fact, are to promote their own export industry, you use our loan, the project must purchase our equipment and materials.

We actually have a lot of them, like many of our loan projects to Africa, is also such a requirement, some projects, and even sand are shipped from China (not on purpose, is that they really do not have!)
