This year's Russia -Ukraine War and Oil Union reduced production policies have also caused an impact on the Masisa partnerships that have maintained decades.On the other hand, Sino -US relations have not yet stepped out of the US House of Representatives Perosi to visit Taiwan and the United States to strengthen the low tide of Chinese chips.

Washington and Beijing want to maintain the order and stability of the region. If this summit will help achieve these goals, it will be good for both China and the United States."

"If the statement is mentioned in the statement that supports the multi -polarization of the international political system, or the reform of international order, it shows that the Arab country agrees to China's view of the current international situation, not the" international order based on rules "that the United States insists on. This will be an important signal that indicates that the political map of the Middle East has signs of further loosening. "
