- Xi Jinping said deeper China-Oman ties were strategic for both sides and that the Middle East should not become a battleground for great-power rivalry.
- China hosted Oman’s sultan for a rare visit, with Hormuz shipping in focus, while Xi warned against great-power conflict.
Why it matters: For China and Oman, the rare sultan-level visit makes the strategic interest Xi publicly stated more concrete. The focus on Hormuz shipping and his warning about great-power rivalry gives the bilateral meeting a specific maritime dimension and makes the anti-rivalry message part of the visit’s context.
