- Опубликовано: 14 май 2024
- Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are projecting a new confidence. And it no longer just has to do with oil. They are trying to shake off old dependencies and forge new alliances. It's a delicate balancing act that places them between the US and China -- and at the center of a changing world.

#MappedOut #SaudiArabia #UAE
In complete report. Qatar was an old mediator in the region but the report didn't cover their role. Also, the top three importers of oil from the UAE and Saudi Arabia are China, Japan and South Korea, respectively, but apparently, they didn't want to mention South Korea and Japan because they are allies. Misleading reports as usual from DW.
U mean south/Japan are western colonies and yes DW is propgrnda
what did you expect.
They even pretend that s arabia and emirates care about green this or that.... lol
this is the german government tv....... you watch knowingly. It is no secret
And what does it change? It means about supply dynamic.
@@Bell_plejdo568p South Korea specifically and yes Japan too but South Korea is literally a US colony
qatar is american puppet
Anyone who knows anything about Saudi politics would never say Jamal was a 'fierce' critic. come on lol. As a Saudi, I find it quite interesting how we are framed in your media. anything good for us means something bad for your countries (mostly western ones). what is the problem with the Gulf region championing peace and stability in our corner of the world? a good human would be happy to see less war and suffering.. and you guys sound increasingly just bitter to be frank.
Well explained.
Its for western powers for us we always need peace 🙏✌️
Germany sees everything in a negative light. Look how they treat Namibians. Or how they talk down to USA and then demand USA protect them from Russia.
Westerners and good humans? Antonyms
Jamal was indeed a critic, have you read or watched anything he wrote or expressed? why do you think he was assassinated?
Why does the report use a negative tone about the Gulf countries ?
Because nobody likes the Gulf countries
There are biased and jealous of gulf countries rapid development
gulf countries should also speak in same manner against Germany
Typical
They didn't bro
This is a critical journalism, take it as it is
Oman and Qatar is biggest mediator in gulf but I guess they didn’t pay the reporter
not really its mostly the uae
qatar was shunned by the entire region for years
I never saw Putin in Oman or Qatar. They ain’t power house
@@hashemgr3
Who knows 💭???
Oman?😂
Saudi Arabia is NOT small county by any sense of the word. It's one of the biggest countries in the World by land mass.
it is by population
75% of it is useless sandy desert, cannot be used for anything
@@mistermood4164 Not just one factor but several factors. 1- Size 2- Population equivalent to the country’s gross domestic product 3- Economic impact 4- Cultural dimension 5- Religious dimension. Saudi Arabia is successful in all of these criteria and may be the only country in the world that combines all of these factors alongside India, but India fails in No. 2
Even Kazakhstan, Australia and antartica r big in size, what matters is how much your economic output is
25 million people and 90 percent of saudi arabia land is useless .
They are visionary leaders and knows how to manage oil wealth. Otherwise the fate would be like Venezuela, Iraq Iran Libya etc
Iran Iraq Libya were the American and the west crimes. have nothing to do with managing oil wealth.
Correction @4:53, USA was not the "key partner" but rather the "key exploiter"
0:40 "Despite their small size ..." That's what she said!
😂😂😂
But it's true. Their population size. Their wallet size on the other hand.... is not small.
@@HuiChyr they have no army . uae is an oversized parking lot lmfao
@@justinereisler5930 what is the problem 🤔most european countries also don't have army
Saudi's size is equal to the W.Europe . The NEOM project is larger than Britain, which is equivalent to a tourist resort within the project 😂
The US is not dependent on Middle East oil. China and Europe are very dependent on it.
The Northeast and every State west of the Rockies are still dependent on middle eastern oil.
The US is run by these lobbyists, APIAC, UAE, Saudi and Qatar
It's more about the petro dollar trade deal.
US is dependent on oil from the Middle East. With current consumption, they would deplete oil within few years without importing. The costs would sky rocket and you could barely afford anything in the US.
@@ReuterL Canada is our largest importer. Only the Northeast and West coast import oil from the Middle east. The Rest of the country gets its petroleum from Texas.
Gulf states mostly believe in money. I don't blame them.
lol as if western countries believe anything else 🤣
That's just countries 101
What? I thought they believe in Alah.
While the West believes in colonialism, stealing others’ money, and genocide
@Boymanjusri not at all 😊
Good strategy - military support from the US and strong trading relationship with China.
There is no free military support. It is all weapons that are paid for, and no single US soldier ever protected any Gulf country. In fact, when houthis that the west support, threw missiles at Saudi Arabia, the United States said it will withdraw its single patriot anti missile battery from Saudi Arabia and also block further sales of anti air attacks weapons. That's one of the many reasons why Saudis are industrializing very quickly right now and focusing on self manufacturing of their own weapons at the moment. So in reality, there were no security guarantees and it was just words for the most part.
MBZ is not young he is 60 😂 what kind of story is this??
Saudi Arabia Forever.... Yes they're a global SUPER POWER!!!! AND THEY'RE WINNING
Mashallah 🥰🇸🇦
they're juggling knives here, but they seem pretty good at it...
Truly clever and cunning if I may say.
So what China did to bring Iran Saudi close,then me countries don’t need USA's security guarantees anymore 😂😂
Such a bias report!!
I have no view and have not formed an opinion on this. Please, tell me what subjects are biased.
@@Osirise81 Thank you for info.
@@Osirise81ur confusing countries military industrial complex with an economic forum 😂 hilarious!
@@Osirise81This is not a legible comment. The video wasn't even anti-Gulf states or anti-Arab, nor pro-West, it was just an explanation of the situation. Did you watch it?
@@skullsaintdeadit was clearly misinforming orientalist and anti-gulf
It only makes sense for it to be named as the Arabian gulf, since if you look on one side you got Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and the UAE, against iran on the other, side so it's mostly arab countries in the region, thus the Arabian gulf
the old name is persian gulf...Just because US wants cant change it, This are the tricks used to grow the rivalry keeping alive the conflict in any means
not only this bad also the cost of iran has a high population of iranian arabs who migrated years ago from the arab lands to persia its 100% should be called the arabian gulf
@@hamadalkaabi2160they didn’t immigrate, they were always there Al-Ahwaz and Arabistan (the west coast of the Arabian Gulf) were always arab
@@keymot1491 thank you for the clarification my own grand grandmother came from Ahwaz
I always felt like it should be called whatever the country bordering it wants to call it.
Iran can call it Persian Gulf and the Arabs can do the same, who cares anyways
US leadership vs China mutual respect. Whod you rather?
U mean US domination
@@Bell_plejdo568p they like to call themselves "leader" of the freeworld as if it elected by others
The US military presence is not there to defend the Gulf Sates but rather to defend America's interests and hegemony in the region from powerful Iran in the 1st place, and when necessary to deny China access to energy resources.
None to both😂😂😂😂 both are untrustworthy. China pretends mutual respect is the goal but they're doing the exact opposite with their south east Asia neighbours bullying small countries. Plus the Uyghurs. Same thing with u.s. hahahah😂😂😂.
@@user-dm6mi5bf6e ure totally wrong ,, i m from south asia Nepal and i say china is good neighbour not like india who bullie sri lanka , maldives,nepal and bhutan ! China respects and helps south asia unlike india ! love china from nepal ❤❤❤
So in other words they're diversifying their political partners just like they're trying to diversify their economic.
Nothing more
Mediocre report at best. Adds almost nothing but provided a lot of misleading info and avoided many important ones.
Good one, thanks!
Western + Persian reporting on Arab affairs = loud barks 😂
The map of India you showcased shows who pays your channel and who you guys fear the most. Shame

There is saying that says "DO NOT PUT ALL YOUR SEEDS IN ONE PACKET". Gulf countries should not rely on western countries only because you don't tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
For thousands of years, the Europeans have referred to the Persian Gulf as the Persian Gulf. The United Nations also refer to it as the Persian Gulf. Have the Anglo-Saxons really conquered Germans so absolutely, that Germans now refer to the Persian Gulf as the "Gulf"? What's next, we refer to the Indian Ocean as "the Ocean"?
Although it's fully surrounded by Arab nations including Ahwaz, as an Arab, it's ok to name it Persian Gulf, we have a whole sea called "The Arabian Sea".
Most european countries who engaged in trade called it the “Arabian Gulf”
Or “Gulf of Arabia”, Dutch explorers would call it as such and Ptolemy did the same.
Besides, who cares what “the un and europeans” call it? The actual people who LIVE on the gulf from both sides call it either “Al-Khaleej” or “Al-Khaleej Al-Arabi” even the Arabs on the iranian side
People in the region call it Khaleej-e Fars which means the Persian Gulf. @bonafidemonafide7810 Even the populations within the Arab countries that live by the Persian Gulf are either Iranian, Shi'ite or both. @@bonafidemonafide7810
There are no Arabs on the Iranian side. The so-called "Arabs" in Khuzestan are genetically, linguistically and culturally Iranian.
Why do you use a scary background music ????
What a weird ominous musical tone in the background. Just give us facts, save the theatrics.
Great documentary, I was hoping for more comments on how sar fared in leading the war against Yemen and how it ended
If you mean their goals of containing Yemen’s revolution then Id say they fared well, the ending seems to be a peace with political concessions
The western economy is taking a deep dive. European cities are showing big signs of that.
It's such a sad thing that this channel show India wrong map but for China it shows Taiwan it's part...... What message this channel want to give or this channel also become Chinese puppet
I liked it so much
Yeah, it is annoying to see a western media channel making such a amateur mistake. Probably some intern that bought a map made in China. Taiwan is starting to be shown as separate from China in the west as it should have been long ago. The problem is that China makes most of the maps and globes and purposely shows Taiwan as part of China which of course it is NOT. Same goes for India, many of these western companies cater to China to avoid a reaction but that is bad for reputation.
What's right or wrong？everyone in the world are brainwashed, power decide everything 😅
Cry
Hello child, NO WESTERN GOVT RECOGNISES TAIWAN AS A SEPARATE NATION.
All those talks are mere politics. Even US still hasn't dropped the One China Policy.
Your report discloses your wrong assumption or bad agenda
Great analysis! Thank you for your work!
what was the analysis?
stop calling Hamas terrorist and Israeli as security forces
These Arab states have a lot of leverage and i mean a lot : OIL
And also global assets and investments. They're like Norway in a sense but with far more global leverage.

if the U.S. wasnt so evil, i dont think this would be a problem.
their trying to twist the narrative so bad 🤣🤣🤣
As a saudi I want to thank you for the clear explanation, you've done well.
Such a good report, ty!
No it’s propgrnda
my nephew of 8 could do a better report than this...... this was a sponsored video.
As an American I can honestly say we envy the UAE. It’s like old America. Safety is valued, morals are valued, capitalism is encouraged and as such is growing like crazy. America has abandoned all of these and is burning quickly.
A good review but lacks the aspect of covering Türkiye in the balance :D
its not a gulf state
this video is excellent and very instructive! however, it should discuss more about soft power. These gulf states extensively use this aim to attract, compete, eye-catch and build opportunities ! they are becoming supersoftpowers
Very well done! Always useful to remember the focal points of the power and influence game, places where many journalists, businesspeople, travellers decide to go, where media and public attention gets attracted in consequence... and increasingly also the other way around.
Have Russia's strategic interests in the region changed significantly, when compared to the USSR in the 80s? What strategic weight will oil have in the future, and what does such a prediction mean for countries known as very oil-rich, but nowhere near efficient production capacity?
The soviets influence in the region is called baath party. The gulf countries maintained their monarchies with exception of yemen.
Same geography means same interest in geopolitical games.
What you call Authoritarian Nations provide for their populations what Western Democracies populations dream of.
"It's disappointing to see such a biased report targeting the UAE and Saudi Arabia. There seems to be a double standard at play here, where Western countries impose arbitrary criteria to judge others while turning a blind eye to their own shortcomings. It's important to recognize the progress and positive contributions these nations have made, rather than solely focusing on negative narratives."
good one!
Why did the maps of India and China have shaded/grey regions?
50 shades of Grey was a big hit in both countries.
Territories that India claimed to own such as Kashmir. I saw people angry over the maps in comments sections for not having the "right" map despite being disputed and not having control over them.
Hahahaha those slappers wouldn’t even be equal in the countries they’re promoting
They act as if they divided in interest but behind closed doors they are serving one agenda.
Saudi is Islam nation’s capital so they have a control in that department.
UAE basically controls Yemen, Egypt, Syria, Sudan, and Libya.
Qatar managing to be a darling of NATO and Global South.
Connect the threads and see who is the beneficiary 🤷🏻♂️
not really, they are fighting over who is the top dog.
@@sumomaster5585 of course they do, there’s no denying that even among EU they share the same feeling about alpha position.

Germany is Americas vassal state.
Not middle east
It's clear that the report overlooks Saudi Arabia's robust defense capabilities. With a formidable military force of over 1 million soldiers and advanced manufacturing of UAV planes, Saudi Arabia stands ready to defend itself against any external threat, be it from Iran or any other nation. Moreover, Saudi Arabia's vast size underscores its capacity to safeguard its borders effectively.
I'm not anti suadi but those 1 million military personls are vulnerable as they're not hard battled.
It's said that national guards in KSA don't spend a night at the troubled area to monitor enemies hence they have other nationals to carry on the same.
Couldn't agree more.
Report it for bias report and showing wrong map.
A great cause, worth pursuing.
Iran was never an enemy to us during Shah time (King of Iran), it is only when Khomeini came to the Government which he represent the minority Shia .
Isn't Iran majority Shia.

10 years left for oil as THE COMMODITY. It will just be another commodity. Battery energy density is increasing by around 7 percent every year. So in a decade it will double. Price likewise is falling at the same rate. Lithium is not even rare. Prices are down 80%.
A good idea of the future of the middle east is to look at Iraq, Yemen, Syria. Once the government is unable to give loyalty allowances to the people, the monarchies will all crumble fast.
I doubt it, the Gulf states have 10 of trillion in investments all over the globe as they've hedged their bets. the USA has the most to lose when oil decline so will the petrol dollar and the dollar losing its reserve currency.
Fossil fuel particularly natural gas will be use for decades to come even if we aren't putting into our cars.
“Loyalty allowances to the people”… the only gulf state that hands out monthly allowances to it’s citizens is Kuwait, and it is the least developed and economically diversified gulf state out of the rest. Yes the gulf states have very generous welfare states with free education and higher education, free health care, no taxes, heavily subsidized food products, heavily subsidized housing costs, and many other benefits, but they do not hand out monthly allowances… only Kuwait does that.
Additionally, you mentioned that battery energy density is increasing by around 7% a year… well guess who is building one of the biggest battery manufacturing and recycling plants in the world, Saudi Arabia and UAE… and they are planning to export it globally. They are going to become powerful players in this market too.
Also, Saudi Arabia possesses around $2.5 trillion worth of untapped mineral resources like gold, copper, and zinc, which they are planning to export and also use for domestic manufacturing. UAE is rich in non-energy mineral resources too.
The economies of the gulf states today are heavily diversified into many different sectors and are no longer as reliant on oil and gas as they once were. Today only 1% of Dubai’s economy is made of of oil, and 15% of the entire UAE economy is oil, which used to be 30% 10 years ago. Saudi Arabia’s GDP is 40% oil today, it used to be 50% ten years ago. Although these numbers are still big, they will continue dropping rapidly in the future as the gulf states continue to develop and diversify away from oil.
Government revenues are still mostly made up of oil but it’s share will drop rapidly once the gulf start selling the alternative commodities that they are tapping into like battery manufacturing, EV manufacturing, mineral resource mining, petrochemical manufacturing, tourism, and more. Additionally, a huge portion of the gulf state’s oil wealth is part of sovereign wealth funds that are being invested into many international companies around the world, and it is growing rapidly over time. The Saudi sovereign wealth fund known as PIF is expected to reach $2 trillion by 2030. This will be a huge source of government revenue in the future which is completely independent from oil.
It is also important to note that oil itself is not going anywhere anytime soon. Many 3rd world countries in Africa and Asia will be heavily reliant on oil for their development in the future and therefore they will have to become major importers of oil, so the Gulf states are planning to sell lots oil to these countries when the west moves away from oil. China has a massive and growing petrochemical industry but it has very little oil, so China will continue to buy lots of oil from the gulf to supply its petrochemical industry. The gulf is also building their own petrochemical industry as I stated earlier. Aviation and rocket manufacturing industries are growing rapidly and they require oil for fuel since renewable energies are too weak to sustain them, so the gulf will continue to supply these industries with oil. So oil will continue to be an important and profitable resource in the long term.
The gulf monarchies have survived for over 1,500 years ruling over different territories over time, while all other monarchies in the world have either fallen or surrendered all of their political power. This is because the gulf monarchies are very adaptable and are not afraid of change, and they will most likely survive for a long time ahead. They have always enjoyed support from the majority of their people, and not simply because of the generous welfare states that the people enjoy, but also because their societies are extremely safe, orderly, diverse, with many job and business opportunities, a society that is rapidly developing and changing for the benefit of everyone, and a population that can enjoy ample amounts of economic freedom. Why would they want to overthrow a government that is upholding all of these things? This whole idea that the people of the gulf are loyal to their monarchies simply because they are being “bribed” with oil money is totally inaccurate. The people have always supported their monarchs way before oil and way before they became wealthy. And it’s because their leaders have always governed well. Jordan and Morocco are both monarchies but they are much poorer than the gulf states and have much smaller welfare systems, yet they are still very stable, they did not suffer much at all from the Arab spring and they enjoy support from most of their people. In fact, the Arab spring only overthrew republic dictatorship governments, not a single monarchy was overthrown. The people do not desire a democracy because why have a democracy when your leadership is running your society well? Having a democracy in the gulf will ruin everything, it will open the doors for extremist religious people to take over. We have seen what a democracy has done to other countries in the region… but people in the west never learn and they still think that democracy is a one size fit all system, and that it always works, well it doesn’t always work. Sometimes other systems work better for some countries.
@@alizainal9057 Fair enough,good points.The Gulf are rentier states,the oil is the rent that enables hiring of Kafala workers. You don't do the dirt.Most people are on govt jobs as managers who barely lift a finger and receive generous pay.The UAE gives new couples a house,I think for Saudi is land. Barely any tax,I think Saudi has introduced 5% VAT.
Saudis are running through their sovereign wealth fund building the Line and the other modern projects. They are taking on debt and selling part of Aramco. UAE is busy funding mercenaries in Sudan,Libya,Yemen,Somalia and laundering money.A very misguided strategy.
Let see how it plays out.
@@Pmooliit's 15 VAT in saudi arabia ...
it's the land of the prophet mohammed and the two holy mosques where the tribes went out and conquered the whole middle east and spread arabic language and faith, even spain and portugal were conquered by arabs from the arabian peninsula... Arabian imperialism is a fact and it traces still alive today, but the europeans dismiss this fact ..
the ruling system in arabia had been the same for more than 1500 year...the difference between it and the european monarchy are many...
the harsh desert teach us a lot about survival .. we survived it and we shall always survive under any situation...
by the way Arabian peninsula main land had never been conquered, many tried and failed...
First: Oil is likely to remain dominant for 30-50 years, no less. Secondly, Saudi Arabia is the third richest country on the planet in terms of natural resources after Russia and America. If we assume that oil ends tomorrow, Saudi Arabia is top 5 in gas, clean energy, solar, uranium, cobalt, hydrogen, etc. Third, the Saudi sovereign wealth fund is likely to become second in 10 years while today it is top 5.
This was good.
Camille looks so young to be so wise. The world will be OK if she ever decides to be a politician rather than an analyst.
The truth is since 2011, Gulf countries are trying hard to suppress the change in the region (e.g. Egypt) by all means. I don't see that playing the superpower balance games would stablize the region by any means. Completely opposite, this suppression of change will end up of an explosion of the whole region. Simply because it is coming from the bottom either by violet or peaceful means. Just a matter of time.
Throw in sudan, Somalia, Yemen, libya, sahel. They will never allow democratic governments in Arabic speaking countries.

Bruh, persians to this day live on the persian hill, which is north of the coast of Arabian Gulf from iran's side, with minorities living on the coasts even to this very day. Persians themselves also used to call it Arabian sea in their empires times, simply because Arabs live on both coasts. It is only the English who started calling it the persian gulf cause they had lots of interests in persia in colonialism time. So Arabs are calling it the Arabian Gulf because that's what it was historically called and that is how reality is, as both coasts have Arabs living in it, so it only makes sense to call it Arabian Gulf.@@TronUse999

Saudi Arabia today is a balance of power, but it is on the right path to becoming a global power. Several factors enable any country to become a global power: 1- Size 2- Geographical location 3- Population compared to the GDP 4- Economic influence on the world 5- Cultural dimension 6- Religious dimension 7- Military power. Saudi Arabia is one of the rare countries in the world that combines all of these factors, but it is still weak at number 7. There is India, but it is weak at number 3.
Nah, that country is cursed by geography, it's just pure desert fully dependent on imports for everything.
Both Saudi Arabia and India never want to assert itself as a Global power like 🇺🇸 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 (Old Soviet Britain ) .
Gulf countries should stop their dependency on western countries which have double standards when it comes justice and freedom for the region
