Communist China is amassing economic and diplomatic power throughout the Middle East because the Biden administration has failed to articulate a cogent strategy for the region, according to one senator.

China’s communist regime is finding success expanding its influence with Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other nations, according to Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), because President Joe Biden has not demonstrated the nation’s commitment to peace and prosperity in the region or to countering the threat posed by Iran’s authoritarian regime.
