As, of course, is trade between China and the U.S., which also have a body of water between them and economies growing ever closer...

"Now with the wall and different steps that the government is taking to crack down on tunnels and other smuggling methods, my guess is that [the Bedouin] are going to be impacted heavily, which will mean more tensions between them and the central government."
