Summary:
President Donald Trump's visit to three Gulf states last May secured significant deals and realigned relations in the Middle East, according to China commentator Gordon Chang.

He identified the February 28 strike on Iran as a culmination of this shift. Chang also suggested that this event marks a significant moment with potential for a Chinese response, though reasons for such a reaction remain unclear to the West.

Scripture: Daniel 2:21 (NASB 1977)
"And it is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men, And knowledge to men of understanding."
