China and America's interests

The tensions in the region are becoming more complex with the ongoing Middle East tensions. On the
one hand are the United States, Israel, European countries, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States, on the
other hand Iran is having a profound impact on Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. The interests of the
Middle East are connected in some way to all these aforementioned countries. On the other hand, China
and Russia are two major powers.

Russia has for the past few years engaged in military intervention in support of Bashar al-Assad's regime
in Syria. Russian fighter bomber planes have been bombing anti-government forces in Syria, especially
since Russia has inflicted significant damage to Syria and evacuated a large area of ISIS. There are six
thousand US troops in Iraq.

Combat aircraft and other advanced equipment are available. China has a very cautious attitude toward
the region. In the Global Initiative for China's "One Route One Belt", it considers the Middle East a very
important region, including Asian, African, European and South American countries, because Iran from
China and other countries Buys oil.

China's day-to-day oil consumption is on the rise, the Middle East region is very important to it.
Contends against. Therefore, the United States appears to be embracing a policy of continuing tensions
in the region.

China and America's interests

The United States' most important ally in the Middle East is Saudi Arabia, which considers Iran its biggest
rival, the main issue of which is the profession. But now Saudi Arabia is hesitant about Iran's policy
regarding Iran, because in recent days, when Iran targeted Saudi oil wells in a horrifying attack,
President Trump made strong statements. Other states in the region also do not appear to be satisfied
with US policy.

Instead of meddling in Syria, like Russia, China built its first foreign military base at the port of Jinboti,
near the sea shore, where Chinese ships are anchored. China's desire and need to establish its relations
with the Middle East countries, because China needs oil, its industrial, commercial and social needs are
increasing.

In such a case, China needs more oil, because the US and Russia are the only ones in oil, while China is
the largest buyer of oil in the world. China is facing difficulty in supplying oil due to sanctions on Iran. In
this regard, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are very important to China.

Now China needs to befriend and trade relations with Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states. But China is
embracing transactional diplomacy and relations policy. He does not want to get into any opposition or
opposition China has a lot of capital ready to invest in infrastructure construction to ensure oil supply in
the Middle East.
Now it is ironic that the US is also a party to the Iran-Iran nuclear deal. Who signed the contract. But
President Trump unilaterally broke the deal with Iran. At the same time, put more economic sanctions
on Iran. The US, on the other hand, declared China as its competitor as its national defense strategy.

Other countries, including China, are unable to understand US President Trump's policies as to when and
how often this person will be announced. Recently, President Trump ordered the withdrawal of US
troops from the Middle East, but after the sudden assassination of Iranian general Qasim Sulaimani, the
situation worsened in the region, when the US announced a withdrawal. Nevertheless, another 3,000
troops have been deployed to Iraq. In the meantime, the US aircraft carrier, which was deployed to the
Pacific a few days ago, has been flown back to the Gulf.

The question is how long can Americans stay in the region, while the situation is getting worse from
there. The Iranian government is under pressure to seek revenge for General Qasim. The Iranian
government is also threatening the United States. Iran has given its stand on the green agreement. Saudi
Arabia and its allies are wondering how long we will continue to bear the burden of the United States.
The US is telling European countries that NATO should not impose its role on us in the Middle East.
China is seeking US trade concessions from China.

British politician Ben Wallace said ten years ago that European countries should be prepared when the
United States automatically declares its withdrawal from international leadership.

In this situation, it is possible that China will also adopt a policy of promoting its political, trade and
economic relations in the Middle East, as the increasing need for oil may force it to step into the region.
