Iran and China have created a rail link called the "New Silk Road," to carry freight on trains from Eastern China to Iran. China has also allocated $62 Billion dollars for infrastructure projects in both the Middle East and Southeast Asia. When combined with the massive Chinese development projects in both Africa and South America, China is moving to expand its global footprint in a big way. It should also be noted China and Iran did a staggering $52 Billion in 2014. Iran and China also signed a trade agreement to have $600 Billion in trade by 2026.
