We traded with China because it was profitable, the same reason we trade with India despite them being run by a literal fascist. The same reason why we support Saudi Arabia, a literal terror state.
Reel it back in cuz it’s more complicated than that. Modi is a very recent development and India is very proud of their government and country through their fight for Independence. I hope they can kick that donkey’s ass out soon because they deserve better.
KSA primarily offers stability, not profitability. They provide oil to US allies and counter Iran’s influence. Also notably, until the 2022 escalation, KSA was also the #1 oil importer for China.
