Arabic term

منبت الصلة عن

Arabic to English Social Sciences Government / Politics
This is referring to Chinese political and economic interests in Africa and the Arab world.

وتدور المصلحة العربية في هذا السياق حول توظيف العلاقات العربية- الصينية لموازنة النفوذ الأمريكي والغربي في المنطقة وفي القضايا الخلافية مع الولايات المتحدة. والمثال الأهم هنا هو حالة السودان التي تسعى إلى الحصول على الدعم الصيني لموقفها في مشكلة دارفور في مواجهة الضغوط الأمريكية، خاصة داخل مجلس الأمن. وفي الحقيقة، فإن هذا النوع من المصالح ليس منبت الصلة عن عامل النفط، إذ لا يمكن تفسير السياسة الصينية تجاه السودان والدعم الصيني لها بمعزل عن المصالح الصينية في الحصول على النفط السوداني.

possible translation I was guessing from context "unrelated" for the phrase, but I'm unsure of what منبت means exactly.

Correction: The meaning is that it is not entirely UNRELATED to the issue of oil. I apologize for the omission. The double negative can be confusing.

You have a point. The reason I added the modifier is that MUNBATT sounded a lot stronger than MUNQATI`.
