#6 ...The Saudis have been talking to the Chinese for a looooooooooong time now:

The House of Saud are no fools. They play a very long game, and they have been hedging their bets for decades. Don't worry about a crisis caused by spending in Washington - worry about what will happen the day Chinese troops take up bases in the Magic Kingdom....

#7 Chinese should be building nuke plants and get off of oil altogether. Leapfrog the west. Its not as if they have environmentalists to worry about and even with sweet Saudi deals they'll have a long way to ship that oil to market.
