When Chinese leader Xi Jinping brokered a rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the White House welcomed the news. According to the administration, reduced tensions between the Middle Eastern countries further the president’s long-stated goals and does not represent a significant change in China’s role in the region.
But some analysts regard the deal as a watershed moment—clear proof that Beijing sees the Middle East as a primary arena of competition with the United States. Moreover, China believes that it has scored significant blows to America's status as the undisputed strategic actor in the region. Michael Doran, the director of Hudson's Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, will discuss this matter with Hudson Senior Fellow Mohammed Khalid Alyahya.
On June 6, please join Coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs on the National Security Council Kurt Campbell and Hudson Institute Distinguished Fellow Walter Russell Mead for a discussion on United States foreign policy and America’s role in the world.

NATO members Lithuania, Denmark, Estonia, and Poland have led the way in both backing Ukraine’s defense and bolstering their own capabilities. But no country has shown more courage and tenacity than Ukraine itself. These countries' parliamentary chairs will join Hudson’s Peter Rough to discuss what to look for at the Vilnius summit.
This event will discuss the failed policy of 2-percent inflation, the restoration of a true monetary base, checks and balances on the Federal Reserve, free market interest rates, and other fundamental reforms to America’s ailing money regime.
Please join Hudson Institute Asia-Pacific Security Chair Dr. Patrick Cronin for a conversation with Ambassador Fick on the intersection of strategy, technology, and diplomacy.
