Biden has already made a catastrophic mess of foreign affairs. The lack of mainstream media coverage and analysis about it doesn’t mean that America’s enemies are not observing. While woke blokes remain with their heads firmly in the sand, avowed enemies such as Iran are emboldened. And now China has entered the Middle East fray: the worst possible player to fill the void left by the Trump Administration.
In August 2020, a “25-year comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between Iran and China” was reportedly formed, but now China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi has visited Saudi Arabia and is expressing “support for the Saudi initiative to resolve the conflict in Yemen.”
Wang Yi also discussed the Palestinian and Israeli issue and called for a two-state solution, stressing that his country would send invitations to Palestinian and Israeli personalities for a dialogue in China.
A weak Biden administration has left a gaping hole in negotiating stability in the Middle East. To Iran, Biden is a laughing stock. To Saudi Arabia, Biden is a provocation, going so far as to remove the terrorist designation from the Houthi jihadis (who are Iranian proxies) in Yemen. In a few short months, Biden has managed to stymie the historic progress made by Trump. As was well stated by the American Spectator, right from the start Biden began “unraveling Middle East peace.” Now the Middle East is headed along a path to war, with malign powers including China lining up to exploit the situation.
“Chinese FM reveals initiative to protect MidEast: Al Arabiya,” Arab News, March 24, 2021:
DUBAI: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday unveiled a five-point initiative for security and stability in the Middle East to Al Arabiya.
The minister, who is visiting Saudi Arabia, told the channel that China called for “mutual respect among the countries of the Middle East.”
Yi stressed the importance of supporting the efforts the regional states regarding the Syria and Yemen files.
The minister expressed China’s support for the Saudi initiative to resolve the conflict in Yemen, stressing that it reflects Riyadh’s resolve to address the Yemeni crisis. He also hoped to implement that initiative as soon as possible.
The Saudi peace initiative includes a nationwide ceasefire and the reopening of air and sea links with the territories held by the Houthi group in Yemen.
The Chinese minister also discussed the Palestinian and Israeli issue, and called for a two-state solution, stressing that his country would send invitations to Palestinian and Israeli personalities for a dialogue in China.
He also stressed that China called for the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, adding, “the efforts of the countries of the region must be supported to ensure that they are free of nuclear weapons.”
During his visit to Saudi Arabia, the Chinese minister is expected to meet his Saudi counterpart, Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Nayef Al-Hajraf, the Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council…..

it is really quite simple: if America is weak, wars happen. If America has a government that hates America, war inside America will happen.

Richard: I thought Biden was supposed to be a foreign policy ‘expert’ in contrast to DT who like to disengage with foreign leaders? Except for in the Mid East of course.
In fact he seems to be as dumb as a stump, or rather his puppet masters are.
Rob Porter says
Richard – with America so woke-embracing, so unmanly and cowardly in its actions, I have no idea why it doesn’t just hand over its running to radical feminists, Antifa or BLM who are lunatics in any event. America’s enemies, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, Russia are now laughing at the U.S. No doubt all their leaders saw Biden’s news conference debacle and of Americans thought ‘What a crowd of morons. This is the best they could do for a leader, a doddering old fart who can’t even walk up stairs without falling over his feet.’ That said, what is the thoroughly divided, poorly-led Republican Party going to do about it? Answer: utterly nothing. A party steals an election and nothing happens. This banana republic stuff – so nothing happens to overturn a rigged election. Amazing!

How much influence does Beijing have w/ Israel? China can only succeed in the region if Israel too buys into their plans.
Most muslim countries, and definitely every muslim country in Asia, is a part of Beijing’s Belt/Road scam. Beijing has little reason not to tilt heavily towards them. On their part, those countries don’t dare raise a beep about the Uyghurs: everything that the Palis, the BDS or the other crowds accuse Israel of doing, China is the one actually guilty of it

Nailed it.

Obama said, ‘Never underestimate Joe’s ability to (mess) things up.’
Personally, I knew this would happen … foreign countries kicking sand in the face of the 96-lb. weakling Sleepy Joe.
The jihadists will soon go into high gear as well. Wars will break out because no one fears the fragile, bumbling dotard.
Kepha says
Whether the O said it or not, a lot of us considered Biden’s senility and past record as major factors for voting for Trump.

China takes initiative in Middle East peace negotiations amid void left by Trump’s departure
…………….
A weak–and even worse–actively Islamophic administration is a recipe for disaster, and we are seeing this already.
Robert Cole says
Biden is the start of the end of America and all western countries , we will all be overrun with moslem refugees, most fleeing nothing but a shitty run country. Trumps removal was a disaster and now the UN and all the whites men haters are in the ruling chair and seem keen on changing history with huge liberal support. The old group who run America need to be removed and a government of honest business men should come in with many observers to be sure it’s all good . Nancy Pelosi and her ageing friends are all corrupt and have been enriching theirselves for years and it still goes on all over the world . Thank god for your website , thankyou.

China is making its move towards world domination. Covid-19 was a weapon that had a major economic and political cost to America. The Covid weapon destroyed the American economy and probably cost Donald Trump the re-election. Both a major plus and advantage to China.
