Will the union of Saudi Arabia and China become a new economic threat to the United States

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Saudi Arabia to "strengthen the strategic partnership between countries." Both states are going through a difficult phase in relations with the United States - Should the world's first economy worry about their possible union?

A "epoch-making event", which experts consider preparing a "double strike" against the United States: Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Saudi Arabia on a state visit, which will last from December 7 to 9.

Xi will visit the country at the invitation of Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman "to strengthen the historical ties and strategic partnership between the two countries," SPA reported on Tuesday. During the bilateral summit, the first agreements worth $29.26 billion will be signed.

The union of CHINA (the second economy in the world) and Saudi Arabia (the country with the largest hydrocarbon reserves) can change the balance of power on the economic map of the world. The strengthening of both countries, due to the benefits of cooperation, may cast a shadow on American hegemony and its ability to influence the processes taking place in the world economy, in particular, in the energy sector.

The intensification of ties between China and the Arabian monarchy has already caused concern across the ocean, as both states are experiencing tensions with the United States. China has been competing with the United States for the right to be called the world's first economy for many years, and with such an ally as Saudi Arabia on its side, its chances can be significantly increased.
