Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Saudi Arabia's lavish reception of China's President Xi is a signal to the US and Biden, according to an expert
- According to an observer, Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday (Dec 7) to a lavish welcome, a move regarded as a not-so-subtle message to the US that the Saudis may form other relationships.
- Riyadh's snub was thus addressed more particularly at President Biden and the Democratic Party, and less so at Republicans and the United States as a general, according to Prof Hashemi.
- Prof Hashemi believes Saudi Arabia is unlikely to refocus its strategic and security alliances away from the US and toward China at this time.
