President Xi Jinping's four propositions on safeguarding and promoting peace and stability in the Middle East, which he's put out today.

One, stay committed to the principle of peaceful coexistence.

Two, stay committed to the principle of national sovereignty.

Three, stay committed to the principle of international rule of law.

Four, stay committed to a balanced approach to development and security.

that they stick to.

And I was reading, it might have been, was it in the New York Times?

I don't know.

I haven't read them all, as you have this week, Roy, but I was reading, no, it might have been in a Middle East paper, but it was the, you know, the Arab barometer that measures

So essentially what it's showing is that on the whole, they now regard China as

Russia and Iran more favorably than the United States.

Now, not all of them.

And so Trump's foreign policies, if you look at the favorability, 24% of Iraqis, 21% of Lebanese, 14% in Tunisia, 12% in Jordan.

and the Palestinian territories.
