Abstract

“This chapter analyzes how China has actively engaged countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), in particular the UAE and Saudi Arabia. As the GCC powerhouses Saudi Arabia and the UAE seek to diversify their economies and attract more foreign investment, enhancing and bolstering trade and economic relations with other regional powers have become core priorities. However, given the Gulf’s inherent reliance on the security umbrella of the United States to establish an effective deterrent against Iran, the GCC states may inevitably find themselves engaged in a balancing act due to increasing animosity between their primary security and commercial benefactors as well as the United States’ growing disinterest in the region.”
