China Filling the Gap

With the new Biden administration taking reins of the U.S. government—and with Democratic control of both the House and the Senate—ties between the United States and the Gulf countries are likely to deteriorate. The United States’ growing energy independence as well as an increasing bipartisan consensus to punish the Kingdom for its role in Yemen, as well as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s involvement in the murder of the Washington Post Journalist Jamal Khashoggi are likely to create lasting ripples in the U.S.–Gulf relationship during President Biden’s tenure. As the United States grows weary of its relationship with its Gulf allies, China has used this growing incompatibility to its advantage. China has recently adopted an active engagement approach with the countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and in particular the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Both countries have found an eager participant in China, which has sought new economic cooperation under its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). However, a growing fondness for China and a reemergence of the U.S. foreign policy under the new Biden administration could very well put the GCC States in the crosshairs of U.S.–China rivalry making it very tricky for them to balance their economic partnership with China and their national security allyship with the United States.
