Recently, in a remarkable event on the world political stage, Saudi Arabia and Iran, two former sworn enemies, reached a historic agreement with the mediation of China. The agreement covers the restoration of diplomatic relations that have been interrupted for seven years, the exchange of ambassadors, and the reopening of embassies and consulates. This is undoubtedly encouraging news in today's volatile international situation.
The fact that Saudi Arabia and Iran were able to shake hands and make peace was not only a victory for China's diplomacy, but also underscored China's central role in maintaining global peace. However, this incident has also attracted widespread attention from the international community, especially the United States, which has the status of "world policeman", and the inability to bring the leaders of Saudi Arabia and Iran to the negotiating table and restore diplomatic relations is a clear failure. In contrast, China's success in achieving this goal has undoubtedly embarrassed and disappointed the United States.
However, it is worth noting that despite China's victory in diplomatic negotiations, Saudi Arabia does not intend to completely distance itself from the United States. Saudi Arabia understands the essence of great power diplomacy and understands that maintaining good relations with China does not mean that it is necessary to take sides in the game between China and the United States. Therefore, after reconciliation with Iran, Saudi Arabia also presented a "super gift" worth tens of billions of dollars to the United States.
Saudi Arabia has reportedly reached an agreement with Boeing in the United States to buy up to 78 Boeing 787 airliners with a total value of up to $37 billion, and is likely to buy 43 more of the same type in the future. As soon as this news came out, not only did US Secretary of State Antony Blinken ecstatic, he personally issued a statement to express a warm welcome and emphasize that this is a huge victory for American workers.
It's not surprising why Blinken is so excited. After all, China's facilitation has brought Saudi Arabia and Iran back to diplomatic relations, which has caused a lot of trouble for the United States. This not only damages the influence of the United States in the Middle East, but also poses a threat to the overall layout of the United States in the region. Now, Saudi Arabia's announcement of Boeing aircraft is also a bit of comfort for the United States, and Blinken can also boost his self-esteem a little.
Some people may be confused by this sudden change in wind direction, Saudi Arabia has just reached a reconciliation with China and Iran, why did it choose to buy American aircraft? Do they want to please the United States? Actually, there are two main reasons involved in this. First, Saudi Arabia plans to build a large international airline that operates international routes, requiring medium- to large-body wide-body aircraft, which China's C919 does not meet. Second, the C919 has not yet received sea trial permits from the United States and Europe, so it cannot be legally operated in European and American countries. Given these factors, it seems understandable that Saudi Arabia's choice can only be aircraft from the United States and Europe.
To sum up, the resumption of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran and the purchase of Boeing aircraft by Saudi Arabia are important events on the international political stage, and they have had a profound impact on the global geopolitical pattern. At the same time, China's diplomatic mediation has made positive contributions to world peace and made the world see the influence and role of a rising power. However, the complexity and variability of international politics still exist, and the future development trend is still full of uncertainty, which requires the wisdom and efforts of all countries to maintain global peace and stability.
