This study examines China's Middle East (ME) vision, specifically its role in mediating between Iran and Saudi Arabia to resume diplomatic ties after seven years of severed relations. While the United States (US) has been focused on the Ukraine War, it has leveled down its engagement with the ME, leaving a void that China is attempting to fill. Iran has relied on Russia and China since the US withdrew from the nuclear deal, and the deterioration of relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia has harmed both countries. China has seized the opportunity to facilitate the normalization process between them, claiming that it is the new hegemon in the ME. The study investigates how the normalization process serves Chinese interests and poses a risk to US hegemony in the region. The analysis highlights China's growing economic and political influence in the ME, the challenges it faces, and the implications for regional stability and the balance of power. Overall, the study emphasizes the need for a nuanced understanding of China's ME vision and its implications for regional and global dynamics.
