Riyadh paper drew its readers' attention to the trade exchange volume between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and China, and the movement of exported goods to the Kingdom, and the number of tankers carrying oil to the Chinese mainland, saying that this as a whole is an impressive matter, given that trade exchange between the two sides was witnessing tremendous strides year after year. It explained that the two countries, which occupy important locations either in the Middle East or the Far East, do not seem to know each other even more, but in trade and finance limits, and this alone cannot establish relations that would exceed beyond the era of cheap oil and goods prices. It further said: We, in the Kingdom, are interested of getting more and deep knowledge of China and the details of its political, cultural, social and economic status. Concluding its editorial, Al-Riyadh wished increasing the cultural and knowledge mobility between the Kingdom and China as it happens in the economic side, since what is the benefit of containers standing at the docks or oil tankers, if we do not know the culture of each other and failure of no communication between us ?
