In October, the Nobel Peace Prize winner is about to appear.In order to make a slide, Trump has also recently looked at the issue of Pakistan.
A few days ago, the White House announced a 20-point "peace plan", trying to end the two-year war through this plan.
During this process, Trump will also personally serve as chairman of the "Peace Council" responsible for overseeing the transition process in Gaza. Now Netanyahu has agreed, but Hamas 'attitude is still uncertain. But Trump had already celebrated in advance, speaking confidently as always, saying that this would be "the best day in the history of human civilization."
Middle Eastern countries do not seem to have much hope whether the United States can truly solve this issue. First, U.S. policies are capricious, and second, The US paranoia of Israel on the Palestinian issue has become an international consensus, and the commitment to security in the Middle East is also unreliable.
Against this background, Saudi Arabia, a big country in the Middle East, quietly sent people to China to discuss a major event with China in the military field.
According to the latest news from the Saudi Defense Ministry, the sixth meeting of the Saudi-China Higher Joint Committee on Military Cooperation was held in Beijing. All the generals of the army, navy and air force in the high-level delegation have arrived, and the specifications are unprecedented.Judging from foreign media reports, at this meeting, China and Saudi Arabia will form and strengthen cooperation between the two countries in the military and defense fields.
This military cooperation mechanism, in fact, was established in 2016, is a major achievement of the visit of China's leaders to Saudi Arabia. The first meeting was held in Beijing in August of the same year, marking the mechanism began to function materially, so far China has signed a number of cooperation documents through this mechanism, providing a more solid mechanism guarantee for cooperation in all fields, including military.
Combined with the current international environment, Saudi Arabia has sent people to China for two strategic considerations.
The first is to seek reliable security.
As mentioned above, the credibility of the United States on the Palestinian-Israeli issue has been seriously damaged in the Arab world. Coupled with the recent Israeli bombing of Qatar, while the United States turned a blind eye, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries really feel that the security commitment of the United States is unreliable.
In this context, Middle Eastern countries must explore security guarantees independent of the United States.
Saudi Arabia's choice of China as the object of deepening defense cooperation is carefully considered.China's weapons equipment, such as the J-10CE fighter aircraft, the Red Flag-9BE air defense system, etc., not only excellent performance, but also passed the real war test, and more importantly, there are no strict political conditions often accompanied by Western weapons. such a "no military base, no interference in domestic affairs, no use restrictions" cooperation model, great attractiveness for the pursuit of strategic autonomy Saudi.
At a key moment in the U.S. launch of the new Middle East peace plan, Saudi Arabia has strengthened its military cooperation with China and is also intended to show the U.S. that it has other important strategic partners and options in Middle East affairs.
In general, this is also in helping the Middle East to promote security multipolarization, previously the United States said, now with China, Russia, and the possible regional joint forces after Shai's reconciliation, slowly can turn from U.S. monopolistic dominance to multi-polar balance, Saudi in the region the power of speech naturally went up. Like last year after Shai's return to Beijing, now all began to discuss joint military exercises in the Red Sea, this is the real progress of multipolarization.
Secondly, this is also a coherent action taken by Saudi Arabia to deal with regional security risks and promote strategic autonomy after signing the Sabah Defense Agreement.
The relationship between the two countries of Saudi Arabia, in fact, can be traced back to the 1980s, Pakistan has long helped Saudi Arabia to train more than eight thousand soldiers, it is Saudi military old helpers. this signing agreement, is to turn the previous loose help into a institutionalized alliance, to say it is Saudi wants more of a layer of security insurance, after all, Pakistan has not only nuclear deterrence, but also a bunch of advanced equipment made by China, such as the Dragon fighter aircraft, the Rainbow drone, these are hard guys that have passed the test of the real war.
For Saudi Arabia, by investing in Pakistan's military industry, it can indirectly get more advanced Chinese technology. such as drones, anti-missile systems, etc., once Pakistan has used these equipment, Saudi Arabia can both through joint training, intelligence sharing, without directly facing the sensitive eyes of the international community, buy more stable than themselves directly. This way of "curve upgrading" not only saves face, but also consolidates the lining.
In short, by deepening cooperation with China and Pakistan, Saudi Arabia will balance its security dependence on the United States to a certain extent and have more room for maneuver and say in regional affairs.
What is certain is that the Saudi military generals' visit to China is a geostrategic operation with clear goals and opportunities. It is not only a question about the reliability of American security guarantees, but also an active exploration of a more pragmatic and flexible defense cooperation model that is in line with Saudi Arabia's national interests. Through military cooperation with China, Saudi Arabia is not only seeking timely and reliable security assurances, but is also anticipating the possible future restructuring of the regional pattern, seeking greater strategic autonomy.
