China's economic ties with the Persian Gulf states have improved as a result of its rapid economic expansion and its transformation into the world's largest energy importer. Due to their distinct geopolitical location, economic potential and alignment with the Belt and Road Initiative, these states are considered the key players in China's zone balancing strategy. China has viewed the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and its diminished security presence in the region as a great opportunity to strengthen its economic ties with the long-standing US allies and weaken the country's influence in the Persian Gulf. This study analyzes the presence and influence of China in the Persian Gulf states within the framework of “zone balancing”. It also explores the role of the Persian Gulf states in China's balancing strategy toward the US. According to the research hypothesis, since the US has many traditional allies among the Persian Gulf states, whose geoeconomic position ensures global energy security, these states can play a key role in China's zone balancing strategy toward the US. In this descriptive-analytical paper, desk studies (review of textbooks and online databases) were used for data collection.
