China, the Saudi-Iran deal and nuclear energy

Hank the Knife and Mondoweiss, along with many others, discuss the China-brokered Saudi Arabia-Iran diplomatic deal. Kissinger is mainly Captai Obvious, but hearing a doyen of the Nat-Sec Nutsacks note this is a big deal on China's part is still good to see. Mondoweiss, like some other truly progressive sites, notes what this means for the "Abraham Accords" and above all for Palestine. 

Mr. Plitnick notes the Abraham Accords not only need to be not-expanded (which this makes likely), but essentially rolled back. It probably also matters, though not mentioned at Mondoweiss, that China has an negligible Jewish population, so can act differently than either the US or EU states.

It also sidebars into the Saudis wanting to develop civilian nuclear power. 

And, I don't see ANYbody, not even it, mentioning the possibility of China helping it out there if the US continues to drag its feet. Especially if KSA agrees to the "additional protocols" that Iran did several years ago, and the US still refuses to help, I think there's a serious chance China jumps in.

On the bigger picture, James Dorsey, usually a very good read on Middle East issues, is again here, when he talks about China trying to "manage" issues vs the US trying to "resolve" them.
