Must be a cultural difference. As a Chinese person, I'd be embarrassed to even publically discuss matters pertaining to my employment of spies at all much less admit that they aren't able to get their targets and are being outsmarted by the enemy but Americans write an editorial out of it as if it were a legitimate complaint the public should be aware of/outraged at.

Although I'm not optimistic about Saudi trading oil for yuans. Won't hold my breath till when that happens. Very unlikely.

1. It only makes sense. China gives RMB to Saudi Arabia for oil. Then Saudi Arabia gives RMB to China for consumer goods. As of today, China is already Saudi Arabia biggest trading partner.

2. The Kingdom wants to diversify away from petroleum industry, and they have set up sovereign wealth funds to do that. If the Saudis want their fund to make investments into America, they will need USD. If the Saudis want their fund to make investments into China, they will need RMB. These two financial markets are the number 1 and number 2 in the world in capitalization.

For Saudi Arabia it is just a practical matter. Why fiddle around with the exchange rates of USD-RMB-riyal, when it comes to China, all Saudi Arabia really needs is RMB and riyal.

It’s the same hypocritical outrage that underlies western belief that they can sanction and tariff China but China can’t do the same to them, let alone decouple from them.
Such traits are consistent with missionary puritanical values systems

Its the Anglo arrogance that comes with centuries of world imperialism. No consideration is given to how the other side will intepret leaks like this.

What next, Biden unhappy that his CIA assassins aren't managing to kill people the way they used to?
