Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit Saudi Arabia, the oil-rich kingdom’s foreign minister said, days after the leader of the world’s most populous nation secured a third term in office.
Prince Faisal bin Farhan hailed the “historical and solid relationship” between the major oil exporter and Beijing after talks with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.
“Our meeting today comes at an important time, as it precedes the expected visit of the Chinese president to the kingdom,” Prince Faisal said in a video statement broadcast on Saudi television.
Saudi Arabia is also “finalising arrangements” for summit talks between China and Arab countries, he added.
Xi, who extended his decade in power last week, has only left China once since the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, when he visited Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in September.
The Chinese embassy in Saudi Arabia did not comment when asked by AFP about Xi’s expected visit.

Saudi to BRICS. Death to Biden’s Liberal World Order.
In less than 4 years, without much help from anyone other than- Ross, Mnuchin, Lighthizer and Navarro, President Trump was reshaping things to the benefit of the USA and the people. Ending wars and aggression. Trying ACTUAL diplomacy by meeting with the likes of Putin and the Norks.
Got peace in the Middle East as more countries seemed to come to the realization that peace is better than continual war with Israel.
Working with the Saudis.
All the while, slowly but surely isolating China and doing his best to get investments out of there, to countries not as adversarial to the US and its interests.
Then they elected a moron and his VP, that likes yellow school buses, and all of that has gone to sh*t in less than 2 years.
all of that has gone to sh*t in less than 2 years. DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA
“all of that has gone to sh*t in less than 2 years. DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA”
I saw them in college decades ago and knew that they HATED America and when I told people as much, they laughed, as why would ANYONE born in the US hate this country...so, now, here we are.

The dangerous thing is even if the Republicans win the House and Senate, there really isn’t much they can do to stop the destruction of the Biden Administration.
They aren’t going to impeach Biden, even if they did, would Kamala Harris be any better.
They can slash the budget for certain things, they can’t control Biden’s foreign policy.
It’s remarkable how many people aren’t able to see the ramifications of Biden’s war provocations.
I’ve been following this commentator on China for a while. She seems to have excellent insight on Chinese politics, much more so than “journalists” from mainstream agencies. Well worth a listen. Note, you can speed it up by going to the little gear at the bottom of the video and adjusting the playback speed. I run it up to 2X. At this link she suggests that Xi’s new dream team is entirely focused on Taiwan.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: change promise, change delivered!
Top Dems Urge Biden To Nationalize Oil & Gas Industry
The energy crisis is worsening. The U.S. has fewer than 30 days of diesel and other distillate fuels, the lowest level since 1945.
In response, influential Democrats, including a leading U.S. Senate candidate, a former Department of Energy official, and an influential energy expert, are urging the U.S. government to socialize America’s oil and gas firms.
At a Houston conference last week, Jason Bordoff, Dean of Columbia University’s Climate School, called for the “nationalization” of oil and gas companies. “Government must take an active role in owning assets that will become stranded,” he said, “and plan to strand those assets.” By “strand” Bordoff meant “make financially worthless.”
The calls come on the heels of two other Democrat-led efforts to expand U.S. government control over oil and gas production.
One is a piece of legislation called “NOPEC,” which passed the Senate Judiciary Committee in May.
The bill would change U.S. antitrust law to revoke a policy of sovereign immunity, which protects OPEC+ members from lawsuits. If NOPEC became law, the U.S. attorney general could sue Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members in court. The result could be a disruption of global supplies of oil and other commodities if nations retaliated against the U.S.
The other is an effort led by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to cap the price of Russian oil sold on global markets, which I and many other experts have warned since June is unworkable, because China and India have said they would circumvent it, and could backfire, resulting in far higher oil prices.
Last week, analysts with Rapidan Energy told the same Houston conference that the December 5 implementation of the Russian price cap could reduce global supplies of oil by 1.5 million barrels per day. Such an amount would create an oil price shock.

I agree with everything you’re saying.
But one question…..what court will Saudi Arabia be sued in? A US Federal Court? Cool. Saudi Arabia shuts down their embassy and consulates in the US, kicks all US diplomats out of Saudi Arabia and sells their oil to everyone else.
Is Saudi going to get a Failure To Appear summons? They’re a sovereign nation. The US can’t do anything to it.
My post was not my thoughts, but an article. And your questions are right on. Thanks!
