What are the implications of the China, Iran- Saudi Arabia deal?
United States Institute of Peace: “The agreement could have major implications for the Middle East. What does it mean for Beijing’s and Washington’s role in the region and beyond? After decades of enmity and a formal cutting of ties in 2016, the rapprochement has been touted as a momentous development in the region. But how it ultimately impacts the Middle East remains a very open question, as the long adversarial powers are fighting a proxy war in Yemen and continue to support opposing sides across the region. Amid perceived U.S. retrenchment from the Middle East, the deal is a diplomatic win for China as it increasingly seeks to present an alternative vision to the U.S.-led global order.”
