China badly needs Arab oil and gas. They would even fund trans Asian gas and oil pipelines if they could assure security along the routes. However the Chinese lecturing anyone on human rights is a bit hard to take.
“China badly needs Arab oil and gas.”
Yes, China is in the spot we used to be. Dependent on Arab oil. Because of that expect to see a lot more Chinese involvement in the region.
China is a big country; surely they can develop their own oil and gas resources. Why are they buying from the Arabs?
Is this an indirect way for them to get entangled in the Ezekiel 38 and 39 alliances?
