This is part of what wil be a series examining different development zones in the Gulf with a Chinese presence. The aim is to interrogate the realities of these zones and highlight the importance of local dynamics. Happy to have started this with my colleague, Alanoud Alsabah!

On Nakbah Day (15 May) ANU staff released a statement of solidarity with the student encampment calling upon the administration to divest from all entities complicit in violence against Palestinians. I am proud to have my name in that list. We ask all ANU colleagues to join us.

The GCC isn’t being “lost” to China, but rather, this issue is being utilised (at least in Bahrain and Kuwait) in the context of local political struggles (akin to what’s happened in Indonesia, Malaysia).

Another reason to hate cliches in writing - trying to search about a Saudi connection to the emergence of Taiwan's semiconductor industry? 99% of the sources are facile comparisons of Taiwan as the "Saudi Arabia of semiconductors" 😑

Pretty cute: apparently a small edifice was set up in a park in Guangzhou to commemorate the 1980 voyage of the Sohar vessel (a recreation of a medieval ship) from Oman to China. The actual ship was returned to Muscat and set outside a hotel, and the edifice was built in 2018.

This piece leans closer to the truth on the matter on Saudi-Iranian re-engagement. China is a beneficiary of a process that had been ongoing for a while. I do not yet see evidence of a change in Beijing's modus operandi.
