They will keep selling their oil at prices low enough to be profitable. If they want to go to the dictator country club with China, I say good riddance and ban them from meeting with the US president.

You are right that that the West was back stabbed. Somebody decided to hatchet up a reporter and commit war crimes in Yemen.

Antony Blinken is a big liar that no Gulf states leader want to meet him, he was hateful of telling lies and making empty promises. Everytime I saw MBS facing him with a grim face and cold response.
Unlike Chairman XI who received the highest level of welcoming ceremony, China is the hope of the Arab world !

CCP is systematically destroying Uyghurs in Xinjiang. The mass genocide is still going, proving that China’s cruelty and brutal torture is not ending against Uyghurs. So, Saudi will neglect the plight of Uyghurs to seek cooperation.

Blinken just went over there and this is the result of Blinken the Secretary of the State’s work. Blinken can’t get have an audience with Winnie the Pooh let alone his counterpart. Blinken is the 3rd string quarterback and coach’s son who becomes the starting string.
Jennifer Psaki would have been more effective. She has more brains. The Chinese prefer dealing with smart people.

The US will not be ignored by weaker China.
No women among the politburo, but it would have been nice to see a woman talking down to these Chinese manbabies.
