Saudi Arabia’s lavish welcome of China’s President Xi a warning to US and Biden, says analyst
Channel News Asia ^ | 08 Dec 2022

Saudi Arabia’s warm welcome of Chinese President Xi Jinping was in stark contrast to the muted reception for US President Joe Biden in July.

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday (Dec 7) to a lavish welcome, a move seen as a not-so-subtle reminder to the United States that the Saudis can forge other alliances, said an analyst.

Mr Xi is in the Gulf state to hold bilateral talks with top Saudi leaders, including King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as part of a three-day visit focusing on energy ties.

Four royal air force fighter jets escorted Mr Xi's plane as it entered Saudi airspace, while six aerobatic jets dragged smoke trails in the colours of the Chinese national flag.

Just allies confirming that Saudi will join BRICS. The de-dollarization of the global economy continues apace.

Americans would do well to learn of our political posture and the effect it has on the rest of the world.

IF Americans do not take control of it's own government, our destiny will be decided by a foreign element.

The biden regime is not strong enough to withstand a full on (and not necessarily combatant) assault and can easily draw stupid public schooled minds into opting for a non American governmentation.

China is and has been buy property here.

Democrats are doing the bidding of foreign agents.

What ARE those 4 plus million military aged illegal males doing here and what/who will they amass for ?

Poor Joe, what a snub. And to think Saudi Arabia gave Jared Kushner two billion dollars in investments from their sovereign wealth fund. LOL burn!

Get over it. You're inflating the dollar out of existence, your culture is in shambles, and Westerners have no influence outside the West. The world moves on.

The instant we flicked a switch and turned off SWIFT with Russia, a message was sent globally.

Countries will act in their own interests, and it isn’t in their interest to have an American boot on their neck.

Russia will sell their oil, and others will sell it to a third party.

Europe is dying.

Is it behaving like a gangster when a government freezes the bank accounts of people that protest their government mandating a useless medical procedure?

You answer nothing and SA is less involved with China than we are.
By we, I mean the United States, not your country.

Yes, Europe is dying ALONG WITH THE SUPREMACY OF THE AMERICAN DOLLAR and America is being overrun by MILLIONS of invaders. All this at the behest of the international globalists. The THEFT of Russian assets in Europe and the US is sending a message to the world that the US, the UK and Western Europe can no longer be trusted with their assets.

Western Civilization is being poisoned from within. And the GULLIBLE AND SIMPLE MINDED ZELENSKY WORSHIPPERS ARE COMPLICIT.

Ally with post-Obama USA, and you get spied on, your social media controlled and manipulated from Langley, and globohomo rammed down your throat.

Saudi’s best tread lightly here. As China collapses, it will drag down all their “friends” a great deal also.

Hard to feel like winning after losing 3 elections in a row.
