However, Yaba Akio believes that the truth is not so simple. He pointed out that there are two reasons for the hostility between the United States and Saudi Arabia. There was a brutal murder in the Consulate General in Istanbul, Turkey, and the senior officials of the Saudi government intervened in this matter. Therefore, the United States lodged a protest and made representations to the Saudi government on the grounds of protecting human rights; the second is that the Saudi government intervened The civil war between the two countries caused a large number of casualties and displaced refugees, and the confrontation with the United States escalated.

Therefore, it is not that China succeeded in poaching the corner of the United States, but that the Saudi government’s way of doing things violates the basic values ​​believed by the United States, and the United States began to distance itself from Saudi Arabia. “China, which also has a disgraceful record on human rights issues, Being close to Saudi Arabia during this period actually does not add points to China’s international image.”

Yaba Akio went on to say that Saudi Arabia is highly dependent on the United States in terms of security issues. Now that it is friendly with China, a large part of it is to show the United States, hoping to attract the attention of the United States. Of course, it also sells more oil to China and earns more. Money ideas.

Moreover, Saudi Arabia is a country based on "religion". Any behavior that disrespects religion will be severely punished. China is the country that disrespects religion the most in the world. The Communist Party advocates atheism, and it relentlessly suppresses Muslims Soft hands, most of the Uyghurs detained in re-education camps in Xinjiang are the same Sunni Muslims as the Saudis.

Therefore, Yaba Akio believes that the closeness of the two countries is nothing more than mutual use. Without the conditions for internationalization, it is impossible to replace the US dollar.”
