This Saudi-Iranian agreement is of tremendous importance. I have a lot of thoughts about it but in order to keep the post short I will only mention a few of them. Funnily enough I won't focus on China's benefits, only for SA and Iran:

A short background: SA and Iran have been in secret talks for over a year already, but talks seemed to have stalled at some point. IMO Saudi Arabia wanted something out of Iran (Yemen issue?..), but Iran didn't want to give in, and even if it did, SA wouldn't trust Iran as it has a long history of breaking agreements. What's new here is the third party that got involved, China.

From SA's side
  • MBS has a long term plan for SA to become an economic power. When he got wind of the news that Israel and US were planning an attack against Iran, he noped the fuck out because he knew that these two would attack Iran from safe homelands while SA would get slaughtered by Iran which is next door
  • SA has been historically at the mercy of Western countries blackmailing it with letting Iran "loose" if they didn't follow Western orders. MBS just turned over the table, dealt directly with Iran and is now giving a giant middle finger to Western blackmailing.
  • SA doesn't trust Iran, so it asked China to take active part in the deal so that it pressures Iran to hold its end of the deal
From Iran:
  • First of all, the recent news from Israel and US probably sounded as death bells for Iran. They probably knew that its do or die time (not saying that they are out of the woods yet, but there is a possibility they may have foiled US/Israel plans against it).
  • China sent a very clear and, unusually, loud message to Iran during the Gulf-China summit. In China's vision for a future Middle East, Iran current actions aren't aligned with it. Either Iran had to change policies or it would have to watch China increasing relations with the Arabs.
  • Iran's international strategic environment has been deteriorating. Iran either had to adjust its policies or it would have been surrounded by the US, Israel and the Gulf States.
China's gains and importance are worth entire posts by its own, but I will just say this. China wasnt just a simple mediator. I would bet real money that behind the scenes, both SA and Iran requested China to take an active part so that they could trust that the other party wouldn't break their promise. The extend of China's involvement will remain secret, but there is no doubt in my mind that, if not the most important, it has at least played a huge role here

This is a win for China, but it also exposes CN. What if, in 3 months or a year from now, things between Iran and KSA go bad again? What will China do?

Sure, that is a possibility.

Two arguments against it.

1. People generally do not want to go back in time and relive a difficult past, which is exact what would be the case here. We know that the Americans will want the good old days back in the Gulf region. To do that time travel thingy.

2. Leadership is important. The leaders here have agreed, and all parties are very interested in turning over a new leaf.

3. Iran seems to always be experiencing some weird accident. Since China is part of this agreement, China is kind like involved now. China will help Iran investigate these incidents, and make sure justice prevails.

Looks like it just got even better for you.

US is announcing plans to shift chip production from China to India.

I wonder where India is going to find water for chip manufacturing.

US pushes for chip production with India​

Washington and New Delhi will sign a memorandum of understanding on the production of semiconductor chips, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo has revealed.

Raimondo, who is on a four-day trip to India, told reporters on Thursday the sides will map the semiconductor supply chain together and identify opportunities for joint ventures and technology partnerships. The commerce secretary was scheduled to meet India’s trade minister on Friday.

“We would like to see India achieve its aspirations to play a larger role [in the electronics supply chain],” Raimondo told journalists ahead of the meeting.

Last month, Raimondo told CNBC the US was considering collaborating with India on certain manufacturing jobs to boost competition against China.

80% failure rate here we go…

Water is not that hard I think. Problem is with people. If they can’t make an iPhone case properly how can they handle something like semi-conductor. It is a scam let me tell you.

Considering that the water supply that India has is ultimately control by China and there ability to control the flow of most of the important rivers flowing to India along with the main river (Ganges) being so damn polluted by all manners of filth (Basically an overwhelming amount of shit water), this is yet another USA planning going down the shit hole from the very beginning because if they are desperately trying this now, this must mean what ever venture in the attempt to take chip manufacturing to the USA is basically DOA. Oh well, I guess can fears that the USA will succeed in stealing the worlds most advanced chip manufacturing to the USA is basically none existent. Such an under taking requires people of intelligence, not Blinken needing a nappy after getting owned by Wang Yi for how many times has it been already? Also, I think Biden needs to get a speed dial for the nearby nurse because that poor man is losing it from the amount of epic fails that have happen from just the start of this year
