It is not easy to understand because people have not studied Gulf Arabs. just like people were posting India blocking BRICS expansion and not have a clue. I looked at Arabic twitter of SPA and Saudis only meet one EU official Michael and than the rest of there meetings were with non Europe like Japan. They have there own interest in US and India and they may want to use it on Europe. keep this in mind they have tremendous wealth and access to intelligence and there soft power can break countries. look around you will get the answer from Sporting events to World expo. look at this example of Turkish Olympic bid for 2020 Olympics. The idiot was given plenty of hints but he choose to ignore and lost badly in round 2.

Are you suggesting that the Arabs are planning to intentionally build a far less efficient trade route to spend their vast wealth, and to counter B&R?
I get that they would like options, but building a far less efficient alternative when access to the primary option isn't at risk makes no sense, no matter how you spin it. Besides, they already have control in that region and the primary route is already used by everyone.
The new option isn't at all appealing to parties outside of the initiative. At the end of the day, unless the Arab and Indian govts are willing to run the new route at a loss to get customers, companies won't use it, and subsidizing the new route won't be sustainable in the long run.
No begging allowed inside Beijing city limits.
I am saying Gulf Arabs have interests in Europe/other places and they may have felt that bringing US and India will help them achieve those interests. This idea was from UAE President who own DP world. I cannot speculate what this trade route is about but i am only responding to those who think Gulf Arabs are dumb and randomly spending money which they are not. you are dealing with wealthiest and most sophisticated in this business. where do you think all that prior Afghan government money ended up. This grip on wealth and soft power is there fundamental strength.
