Saudi Arabia has long been an important partner in the field of sales of armaments for the Continental Army.
This solid partnership dates back to the eighties and nineties, when the two countries began trading missiles.
Over time, this cooperation has deepened and gradually encompassed more comprehensive procurement of land, sea and air weapons.
Saudi Arabia continues to show a strong interest in the mainland's self-developed weapons systems, and the mainland has won the trust of Saudi Arabia with its high-quality and reliable weapons and equipment.
Thanks to Saudi Arabia's strong financial strength and friendly relations between the two countries, the arms deal has maintained a smooth development.
Recently, some media reported that due to the strong involvement of the United States, Saudi Arabia had to suspend its arms cooperation project with China and turn to negotiations with American allies.
This news has aroused widespread concern from all walks of life, but some of the details involved still need to be clarified.
First of all, the "order of intent" abandoned by Saudi Arabia does not refer to the export of weapons of mass destruction such as military aircraft or tanks to China, but refers to rumors that Saudi Arabia plans to purchase 12 052D destroyers.
However, although the news has been circulating on the Internet for a long time, it has not yet been officially confirmed by China and Saudi Arabia.
We should remain cautious about this rumor and avoid over-interpretation and speculation.
For China's shipbuilding industry, Saudi Arabia's purchase of 12 052D destroyers is undoubtedly an important deal, which will have a positive impact on the mainland's shipbuilding industry.
However, we also need to recognize that such a large-scale procurement program is not easy to achieve.
Unless Saudi Arabia really has the money to go and doesn't have a better direction to invest, it's hard to justify approving such a costly purchase.
In this context, there is a strong interest in US involvement.
Why would the United States intervene in an order of "intent to materialize" that seems unlikely? There may be complex political and economic considerations behind this.
If the report is true, it is likely that the U.S. involvement is aimed at curbing China's growing influence in the Middle East and thus maintaining U.S. dominance in Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The United States maintains close alliances with Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, but this relationship is significantly different from that of American allies in countries such as Japan and South Korea.
Among the countries of the latter, the United States has an indisputable dominance, and even on certain strategic issues, these countries are willing to sacrifice their own national interests for the sake of American interests in the Asia-Pacific region.
Among Arab countries, however, there is more of a complementary resource-based partnership between the United States and these countries.
The United States provides security guarantees for Arab countries with its great military might, and Arab countries provide economic support to the United States with their abundant oil resources.
Although the United States plays an important role in the Middle East, its influence is not absolute.
In a way, the United States is more of a senior security guard in these Arab countries, and although it has a strong military, it is far less decisive when it comes to matters of national interest than it is in other regions.
The frequent conflicts between the United States and Saudi Arabia in recent years are a clear example of Washington's attempts to tighten its grip on Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, which are not always willing to conform to the wishes of the United States.
As China's military power grows and its overseas influence expands, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries are becoming less dependent on the United States.
They began to seek more partners and options to safeguard their national interests and regional stability.
Therefore, when China's influence expands into the Middle East, some Middle Eastern countries do not show antipathy, but welcome it.
They want to work with China to balance U.S. influence in the region and thus preserve their independence and autonomy.
For the United States, this trend is clearly not good news. The United States has been trying to assert its hegemony in the Middle East, and China's rise has had a profound impact on the geopolitical landscape of the region.
Although China has not yet maintained a regular military presence in the Middle East, as long as it is accepted and supported by local countries, China's regional influence may reach a level that challenges the United States in a short period of time.
This is a situation that Washington does not want to see, and rumors that "Saudi Arabia plans to purchase 052D destroyers" have further exacerbated US concerns.
However, we need to recognize that rumors of US interference in the "Saudi plan to purchase 052D destroyers" may not be enough to change the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
First of all, this rumor has not been officially confirmed, and its authenticity remains to be verified.
Secondly, even if this rumor is true, there is still uncertainty about whether the Saudis will finally decide to purchase the 052D destroyer.
After all, such a large-scale procurement plan requires careful consideration and trade-offs.
Finally, even if the Saudis finally decide to buy Chinese destroyers, this does not mean that the influence of the United States in the region will immediately weaken.
After all, the U.S. military presence and alliances in the Middle East still have considerable power and influence.
From a broader perspective, China's influence in the Middle East has been built up through years of foreign policy, rather than relying solely on the arms trade.
China has always adhered to the diplomatic concept of peaceful development and is committed to establishing friendly and cooperative relations with other countries.
Through economic assistance, cultural exchanges, and other means, China has gradually won the trust and respect of Middle Eastern countries.
This increase in influence comes naturally, rather than by coercion or interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
Therefore, in the face of possible US intervention and concerns, we should remain calm and rational.
China's influence in the Middle East is based on the principles of peace, cooperation and win-win results, and we will continue to uphold this principle and make positive contributions to promoting regional peace and stability.
At the same time, we should also strengthen communication and cooperation with Middle Eastern countries, jointly address various challenges and threats, and contribute to regional prosperity and development.
To sum up, although the United States may intervene in the rumors that "Saudi Arabia plans to purchase 052D destroyers", this intervention is not enough to change China's influence in the Middle East.
Instead, we should see that China's influence in the region is based on the principles of peace, cooperation, and win-win, and that this increase in influence is a natural occurrence.
In the future, China will continue to uphold the diplomatic philosophy of peaceful development, strengthen cooperation and exchanges with Middle Eastern countries, and make greater contributions to promoting regional peace and stability.
