Chinese President Xi Welcomed by Saudi Crown Prince

Chinese leader Xi Jinping is welcomed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, December 8, 2022. Xi held landmark talks with Saudi Arabia's King Salman and Crown Prince MBS. Saudi state television aired footage of Xi's car arriving at Al Yamama Palace, where he was greeted by Prince Mohammed, the kingdom's de-facto head. The United States, warily watching China's growing sway and with its ties to Riyadh at a nadir, said on Wednesday the visit was an example of Chinese attempts to exert influence around the world and would not change U.S. policy towards the Middle East. Prince Mohammed, with whom Biden bumped fists instead of shaking hands in July, has made a comeback on the world stage following the Khashoggi killing, which cast a pall over Saudi-U.S. ties, and has been defiant in the face of U.S. ire over oil supplies and pressure from Washington to help isolate Russia.
