Saudi-Chinese Mutual Missile Program Explained

Описание: Polit Affairs - While the relationship between longtime allies Saudi Arabia and the United States becomes increasingly strained, China could establish a stronger bond with the Middle Eastern kingdom and give them what they dream of.

China wants more money and more energy resources for it's rising consumer population and productions, Saudi Arabia has lot's of money and wants security guarantees and modern weapons. so why not?

in recent years, while relations between Saudis and US have been modest, Bin Salman has been thinking about redirecting their attitude. for him, it's all win. He can get what he wants and US doesn't give, from China and can at the same time force US to more cooperation, use Chinese card.

the most notable aspect of this relations though is the mutual Missile production with China, which they say is called Crocodile. it's not obvious yet, China would just export Ballistic missiles or will produce it alongside Saudis, but for Al-Riyadh, this is a big Chance to reach power balance with Iran in the middle east. because Iran has massive arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles of it's own.

at the same time, for Saudis having strategic relations with China is important because it helps them in controlling Iran, while Tehran is a close friend of China.

US is is watching and trying to mend ties and refrain from more Chinese influence in the middle east.
