Abstract: Saudi Arabia is rich in oil and gas resources with capital and location advantages; while China is rich in human resources with technical and market advantages. In the 30 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two,they have transcended ideological differences and have gone through three stages of energy partners, strategic friendly partners and comprehensive strategic partners,forming an integrated and interdependent cooperative relationship. China’s "Belt and Road"initiative is in line with Saudi "Vision 2030 ". Cooperation between the two countries is affected by the Fourth Industrial Revolution,the Middle Eastern geopolitical rivalry and complementarity of China ’s and Saudi developmental strategies. Such partnership is characterized by top-level design,mechanism docking,multi-dimensional cooperation and global outreach. In prospect,the development of China-Saudi relations needs to address the greater triangle of "China-US-Saudi Arabia"and the lesser triangle of "China-Iran-Saudi Arabia",coordinating the old platform and the newmechanism to strengthen the exchange of governance experience between China and Saudi Arabia. The comprehensive cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia has promoted the interconnection of East Asia and West Asia,and it has helped major Asian countries to explore a modernization path that suits their respective national conditions,thereby enhancing the awareness of the Asian community.
