One way this could help the peace process: according to the article, Israeli restrictions make it harder for Palestinian firms to compete with their Chinese rivals. This gives those Palestinians who AREN'T benefiting from the China trade (or who's benefits are diluted by unemployment) a healthy incentive to seek peace.
