    This makes me wonder if China will be a geopolitical target for the oil nations like Russia and the Middle East. The Saud and Putin are both close enough to Trump that direct action seems likely.

      More like the other way around. Without the demand from China, Russian oil industry, and their whole state is fucked.

      Russia can’t afford to stop selling oil to China. Its one of its few customers left to sell oil to.

      China is Saudi Arabia’s largest customer. Saudi Arabia can’t afford to piss off China.
