LONDON, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- China has overtaken the United States, Britain, and the Eurozone combined to become the Gulf region's largest trading partner, according to a report released Thursday by the London-based think tank Asia House.
The report, Middle East Pivot to Asia: The Gulf's Rise as a Global Middle Power, shows that China's trade with the six Gulf countries reached 257 billion U.S. dollars in 2024, narrowly surpassing the 256 billion U.S. dollars in combined Gulf trade with major Western economies.
