Knowledge, even if it is far away in China, should be sought. It can be said that this is an Arabic saying. Today, however, there is another way, that is, wealth is also in China, and it should be sought. So we see that in recent years, Middle Eastern countries have frantically increased their positions in China, because in their view, investing in the West is investing in the past, and investing in China is investing in the future. And compare
The glory of the past, the future income that they value more, of course, behind the investment income, what they see is more the alternation of rights and the delivery of hegemony.
The Middle East is adding positions to China
If the Middle East used to be an ally of the United States, now the Middle East is gradually becoming our friend and a booster of the mainland's economic development.
Recently, I think everyone should see that Saudi Arabia's Abu Dhabi fund invested in NIO and became the largest shareholder of NIO. It can be said that this is not the first time that Middle Eastern countries have increased their positions in the mainland's new energy industry.
And there are more and more things like this. We know that in the past, when Chinese companies wanted to develop and raise funds, the first thing they thought of was to go to the United States for financing, because where there are mature capital consortia, and this has shaped the current Silicon Valley.
But today, Middle Eastern conglomerates, which used to look for investment targets on Wall Street, have begun to focus more capital and energy on China. Because in their view, China has a better future, and at the same time more innovative.
And according to relevant media reports, the size of sovereign funds in the Middle East will reach nearly 10 trillion US dollars by 2030, and nearly 2 trillion US dollars will be invested in the Chinese market in the future.
It can be said that this will be a very large amount of money. Many people may be skeptical. Even in the stock market, Chinese investors can't make much money, so how can investors in the Middle East invest in China?
In fact, this is a situation that many people do not understand the real situation. According to relevant statistics, in the Chinese market, there are nearly 50 or so major shareholders of enterprises are Middle East capital.
And from the relevant data, we can see that since the beginning of this year, Middle Eastern capital has invested a lot of money in the domestic market. Among them, there are many new energy and Internet technology enterprises, so it can be said that the scope of investment is very wide. Even many of us scoff at Evergrande Automobile, and the Middle East consortium have already taken shares.
So we can see the desire of Middle Eastern consortia for Chinese assets. Not long ago, the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Saudi Exchange Group signed a relevant cooperation agreement, and it was not long before the Shanghai Stock Exchange signed a memorandum of understanding with the Dubai financial market.
It can be seen that China's cooperation with the Middle East is deepening more and more. And there are more and more interests bound. Even before, relevant media broke out that 4 trillion Saudi sovereign funds came to China.
Behind this series is that China is getting closer and closer to the Middle East, and more and more Middle Eastern countries are investing their century-old wealth in the Chinese market, hoping to form a community of interests with China.
And this is naturally undesirable for us. Because we know that every technological upgrade requires a large amount of capital investment, and the capital required in future technological upgrades will only increase.
And let's not forget that we also proposed to move from a financial power to a financial power, and this is where we started. Let more countries bet on us, which will also add a few points of chance of winning in the future Sino-US confrontation.
Behind the accelerated investment in China in the Middle East is a change in the global landscape.
Rising in the east and descending in the west
The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. In the face of global changes, capital may be the most sensitive existence in the world. We have always said that the righteous help the unrighteous and the unjust, and the movement of capital proves this.
If we talk about how the United States won the Cold War, I think it is naturally inseparable from the blessing of Middle Eastern capital. And today, Middle Eastern capital has once again made a choice, but this time it is not the United States but China.
Because in the eyes of the Middle East consortium, the hegemony of the United States has long been decayed, and the most important thing is that the backlash of the United States hegemony is becoming more and more serious.
If the United States used to be a big coin thrower, benefiting its allies and the younger brother of the United States through various kinds of money and industrial outflow, then the current United States is just the opposite. "America First" has become the norm of the United States, so what is still standing on the ship of the United States is no longer rich and rich, but endless disasters.
So we see that the United States sells allies as casually as eating, and at the same time, in recent years, the United States has been more and more interested in attacking its own allies. And Saudi Arabia, as an ally of the United States, naturally sees it in its eyes and takes it in its heart.
Because Saudi Arabia knows that he is an outlier in the eyes of the United States and even the West. As for why the West has not taken action against them for a long time, it is because Saudi Arabia has the lifeblood of petrodollars in its hands, so the United States does not dare to do it.
But now the United States has long since changed from an oil importer to an oil exporter, that is, the United States and Saudi Arabia have changed from partners to competitors. There are not many obstacles left for the United States to clean up the countries of the Middle East.
And more importantly, the United States is now implementing the so-called re-industrialization and the Great Retreat strategy, so will the United States forcibly harvest a handful before retreating? I think there is a great opportunity for this. After all, Saudi Arabia and other countries do not pose much threat to the United States, as long as they find a reason.
On the one hand, there is the alternation of the old and new hegemonisms, and on the other hand, the ugly features of the United States are gradually exposed. Who else can be trusted by Saudi Arabia?
And don't forget, Russia's $300 billion in foreign exchange reserves are still frozen by the United States and other countries. And now the United States is extremely short of money, harvesting China is definitely the first choice of the United States, but if it fails, who else can make up for the hole in the United States?
I think that in the world, the Middle East, Japan, and South Korea are relatively wealthy. Therefore, whether the United States will do anything to them in the future, I think this is a high probability, after all, Trump has blackmailed Saudi Arabia once, and there will only be more and more in the future.
And the most important thing is that the Saudi system is already intolerable to the American mainstream. And isn't the storm that once swept the Middle East just a rehearsal? It's just that it finally gave up halfway, but will the United States continue to push for blackmail in the future?
Therefore, whether it is in the preservation of wealth or the guarantee of security, Saudi Arabia and other countries must find a country that can be relied on, at least able to uphold justice, and China is precisely the most suitable one. Because our culture is tolerant enough, our propositions are more tolerant. Therefore, at a time when the east is rising and the west is falling, investing in China will be the only choice for Middle Eastern countries. At the same time, it is also the right choice.
