Xi was speaking in Saudi Arabia where Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman hosted two "milestone" Arab summits with the Chinese leader which showcased the powerful prince's regional heft as he courts partnerships beyond close historic ties with the West.
Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia and economic giant China both sent strong messages during Xi's visit on "non-interference" at a time when Riyadh's relationship with Washington has been tested over human rights, energy policy and Russia.

The USA leadership is to blame for this, via their weaponizing the US dollar. In essence, the USA leadership is cutting the throats of the US people. When the dollar crashes and the American people are buried under unsustainable debt, Biden and his advisors can step forward for their just rewards.
Koolaid drinkers are intellectually incapable of connecting events like this to the sanctions policies they support. Constantly demanding their owners make worse and worse decisions to mollify their emotional tantrums.
Thanks, Brandon.
For as long as it lasts...
