Salman in China
Al-Riyadh Editorial
Published in Alriyadh on 13 - 03 - 2014

The duration of the relationships between the Kingdom and China have surpassed seven decades currently and are celebrated by the visit of His Highness Crown Prince Salman to China which represents his last stage in his Asian tour. The main aspect here is that this big homeland which provided the world with important civilization bases kept being away from the conflicts and wars due to its being a massive economic, intellectual and literary settlement which means that it has all the components which entitles it to be a rich country in all aspects and activities of life.
Confucius, the great philosopher, is regarded as the first teacher to the country of a billion and three hundred million population who registered the history of tyranny, justice, wisdom, ignorance, civilization achievement and long coma stages. However, in a similar way to the phoenix; it rose out of the ashes and defects of the revolutions and rushed towards a massive technological and economic explosion that may change the signs of life on the globe due to the mingling between the past and the present. The base followed here is that china becomes the coming power that shall bring another prospective to the world through a unique experiment. The ruling boss is still a follower of Mao who believes in the domination of the Communist Party but through a capital decision which runs the battle of nationalizing the international knowledge and science together with an economic leap which is almost dominating the international markets and competing to enter them through another passport leading to making most goods obtainable by the proletariat, the middle classes and the high ones. This distinction has been accompanied by a method for marketing and prevalence. Thus, the international markets have become heading towards China due to the availability of the consumer in its market together with the skillful and cheap work force. These factors represent motives that have transformed China from being ideological goods presented through Mao books towards becoming goods and products of big economical return.
The Kingdom is one of the earliest countries that knew China and exchanged the diplomats with it. Meanwhile, China is the biggest importer of the Kingdom's oil or one of its basic importers at least and this is against its earning of billions that represent the returns of its exports to the Kingdom. The Kingdom may be the first in the Arab World in regard to the rise of the commercial and industrial exchanges together with opening the markets with no barriers. It's a try which has resulted in transferring some Chinese industrial experiments, adopting the exchange of experts for technical training, sending students from the Kingdom through scholarships for increasing the technical and cultural dose and becoming familiar with World's biggest community.
Prince Salman is carrying an official and popular message to the Chinese government and people. There shall be, of course, projects, agreements and plans for the far future which explore long times of the various relationships between the two countries. It may be that its singularity as a rising great Asian power has made it qualified for considering itself a basic equivalent to many advanced states. The unique aspect of China is that it works on that its relationships have no associated political tensions or monopoly of science and other types of knowledge. It seeks to be the only state which takes and gives through the basis of open friendship which is not governed by ancient historical incidents during the usual times although such incidents may be recalled in cases of conflicts. During its long history, China had been a victim for the invaders and colonialists who robbed its fortunes and tried to tear its maps and distort its civilization. However, its ability to surpass the times has provided it with the feature of the easy movement from the case of imbalance towards the case of the rising power in a very strong way. This is what is regarded by the Kingdom as a cultural enrichment and balance of power with the other states that shall be reflected on the entire international peace.
