Eh providing the reports are true I am quite relieved that Saudis have abandoned normalisation talks. Normalisation between Saudi Arabia and Israel would pretty much undo China's great diplomatic triumph from last March.
Its not like China cannot give a loan to Pakistan that is equal to IMF. But China doesn't want to make Pakistan fully anti-US. Having a Pakistan that is Pro-US and Pro-China plus anti-India is useful for them. That means China doesn't have to take the full burden of supporting Pakistan. Plus Pakistan gets to use western weapons which should help it against India, plus China might get to peak at these weapons sometimes.
