1. China imports one third of their oil from the Middle East, leading to economic incentives for discussions with Arab leaders.

2. China has been increasing its soft power in the region through investments and partnerships, with a potential $400 billion energy trade on the horizon.

3. Geopolitical tensions between the US and China, as well as global trade tensions, pose risks to the new relationship between Middle Eastern countries and China.
