The answer to this question depends on the meaning of the term "reliant on oil". Every country on this planet requires petroleum to function since gasoline-fueled cars, buses, trains dominate the world. If, however, you are referring to countries dependent on the export of petroleum, there are several countries which do not have petroleum at all or have insufficient quantities of petroleum to export. The Levant countries of Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon are all petroleum importers as is Turkey.

Is middle east in china?

It depends on what "in" refers to. If the question is geographic, i.e. Is China part of the region called the Middle East, then No. China is part of the Far East or East Asia, which is a very different region. If the question is about involvement, i.e. Is China involved politically with the Middle East, then, Yes. China needs an incredible amount of energy to power its economy and much of that energy comes overland from the Middle East, from countries such as Iran and Iraq. Therefore, China has a strongly developed Middle East policy.


Why is the Middle East region called the Middle East?

The Middle Eastern region, like every other, is socially constructed based on race, language and religion. The region, which by most accounts spans from Morocco to Iran, is called the Middle East as a reference to its geographic relationship to Europe and East Asia (not western, nor far eastern). The place is lumped into a single region because the majority shares an ethnicity (Arab), religion (Islam) and language (Arabic, though Iran speaks Persian).


What is the smallest country in Southwest Asia and North Africa?

It depends on how you count this.The four smallest countries in the Middle East and North Africa are Lebanon, Cyprus, the State of Palestine, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (from largest to smallest). Lebanon is the smallest, clearly recognized country that is clearly in the Middle East. Cyprus is the smallest, clearly recognized country in the Middle East region, but there is debate as to whether Cyprus is in the Middle East or in Europe. The State of Palestine is smaller than Cyprus and clearly in the Middle East, but it is not clearly recognized. The Turkish Republic of Cyprus is the smallest, but is not clearly in the Middle East (for the same reasons as Cyprus more generally) and is only recognized by Turkey.
