Xi’s Saudi Arabia visit is not a slight on the US, analysts say – The National
Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday should not been seen as a challenge to the US after Joe Biden's visit earlier this year, analysts said.
Mr Xi arrived in Riyadh for a two-day state visit aimed at bolstering Beijing’s relations with Saudi Arabia. He is expected to meet senior Saudi Arabian officials including King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
A China-Arab summit is set to be held as well as a China-Gulf conference in the capital Riyadh that regional leaders will attend in person.
