The Royal Saudi Strategic Missile Force is made up of Chinese ballistic missiles (DF-3 and DF-21) manned by Chinese operators. The arrangement dates back to the 1980's.The Chinese can't project power across the Strait of Taiwan...how do you expect them to defend Saudi Arabia?
Do you really think that the Saudi's can trust China? Seriuosly, China would throw them under the bus in an instant if it suited them. (and letting the Iranians have Saudi Arabia would suit the Chinese fine).
The US is their largest defense partner, but China has been there for a while too.
