Summary/Abstract: In the new international context of the conflicts that broke out in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, we can speak of a very sensitive economic environment. Analysts described the threats of global trade disruption and China's potential economic opportunities and supremacy, whose influence in the Middle East has grown considerably over the past 15 years. The reconfiguration of American policy and the shift of the United States' center of gravity from the Indo-Pacific area due to the war generated by the Russian invasion has left uncovered a critical area in the commercial flows that ensure global trade. The triggered humanitarian crisis and the thousands of civilian victims in Gaza represent opportunities for China and Russia to blame American policies on the Middle East for the instability there. The article presents the main vulnerabilities that the two conflicts create in the global economy and how the disruption of trade flows would generate major crises globally.
