China’s ominous policies toward Taiwan and Hong Kong won an endorsement from Arab League states at a landmark diplomatic forum in Saudi Arabia.
Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping traveled to Riyadh at a fraught moment for the U.S.-Saudi Arabia alliance, which recently cut oil production in the face of President Joe Biden’s appeal for OPEC to increase their output in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The joint statement added that they were “rejecting Taiwan's ‘independence’ in all its forms, and supporting the Chinese position in the Hong Kong file and supporting the People's Republic of China's efforts to maintain national security and develop and perfect democracy in Hong Kong within the framework of one country, two systems.”That statement represents a sharp divergence in tone from much of the U.S. alliance network.
