The source argues that after the Iran-U.S. war, China’s Middle East strategy is increasingly focused on keeping Saudi Arabia and the UAE from moving irreversibly into the U.S. security and technology orbit. It suggests Beijing will sustain a low-cost, durable relationship with Iran while prioritizing its neighborhood and limiting deeper regional commitments.
Vietnam is using coordinated economic statecraft to move from assembly and testing toward higher-value semiconductor design and, eventually, fabrication, positioning itself as a preferred supply-chain ‘plus one’ destination. The strategy’s main uncertainty is whether ambitious scale targets and new public funding mechanisms translate into measurable technological capability and domestic spillovers.
