Saudi Arabia is joining an anti-Western influence bloc formed by Russia and China, in a sign of Riyadh’s deepening ties with Beijing as the US pivots away from the Middle East.
The kingdom’s cabinet approved a plan to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation(SCO) as a “dialogue partner”, a precursor to being granted full membership, SPA, the Saudis' state news agency, announced on Wednesday.
Formed in 2001 by Russia, China and former Soviet states in Central Asia, the SCO is a political and security bloc of countries spanning much of Eurasia and has expanded to include India and Pakistan, with a view to challenging Western influence in the region.

Who cares and good-bye to a country whose leader is a murderer. I would start drilling our own oil so they can cut us off and we will not miss a beat. When they start needing part for all the Military stuff they purchased, call China for them. When you need help with Iran, call China or Russia another country whose leader is a murderer of women and children.
