“China enjoys good relations with Gulf Cooperation Council countries these days, especially after this engagement has been upgraded to a “strategic partnership,” meaning close cooperation in all fields, from economic to political to security. How can this partnership be further developed, as both sides are eager to see?”
Qatar seems to want to be allied with everyone:
1. the US — MAJOR US base in Qatar.

3. Red China: GCC-CCP alliance (see below)
4. Israel: agreement currently forming
5. Turkey: base in Qatar; opposing UAE in Libya
