Iran–China Relationship: Implications for the West

Abstract

This chapter describes the historic ties between two ancient civilizations — Iran and China and how this relationship has evolved over the past few decades. The current state of trade and investment relationship between the two countries is discussed, followed by an analysis of the geopolitical implications of the evolving relationship between Iran and China. The chapter concludes by showing how ties with Iran can give China access to the greater Middle East.
