The small Sultanate of Oman is a crucial, strategically important oil hub that is growing in importance for both the West and China
Oman is expanding its position as a global oil hub.What China really seems to want from Oman is to control all the major crude oil shipping route chokepoints from the Middle East into Europe and the West.
The key to all these developments is that the Western alliance finally appears to have noticed that it was losing out in Oman to China, as has been happening in so many other countries in the Middle East in recent years, particularly after the unilateral withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran in May 2018. As highlighted repeatedly byin Oman.
