Saudi Arabia turned to Beijing rather than Washington to ease tensions with its regional rival Iran.
It is not clear what Xi knew ahead of Putin's plans when they met before his February 24, 2022, invasion of Ukraine. But neither Moscow nor Kyiv have rejected outright China's 12-point position paper released last month about how to end the war. An op-ed by Xi published by Russian media on Monday ahead of the visit hinted that Beijing could bring an end to the hostilities.
However, Nestorovic said China could also consider the prospect of Saudi Arabia and Iran becoming members of the BRICS bloc of emerging economies. This would secure Beijing's energy requirements, marginalize American influence in the Gulf and force the U.S. to put more effort in the region. Relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran have ebbed and flowed since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, during which there have been times of intense rivalry and détente, and this latest deal could just be part of that cycle.
