On that note, what I also find of interest is China's Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) (aka GSI, GCI, GDI) they started back in 2013 has been making big infrastructure deals with Iran, Israel, Russia, Egypt, the past several years. Clean out the Hamas and watch a gas pipeline / trade route get installed for Greater Israel.? China & those countries listed will all benefit. The world order is definitely being shaken & realigned for better or worse who knows.
