The data show a slower implementation of Chinese investments in Iran than media reports of $400 billion deals would suggest. This connects to evidence that the dragon has been dithering elsewhere too - for instance in Pakistan and CEE. https://t.co/1UdkLk

China has initiated a huge $400bn investment drive in Iran. Or has it? Our evidence suggests that the Chinese state is dragging its feet on committing resources to Iran. Open access: https://t.co/hlqQjT1HmP

China is supposed to be implementing an investment drive in Iran worth $400 billion. But evidence shows that progress is slow: https://t.co/0XYFj0fh0M

China's "wait and see" policy in Iran is the main point of our article. The evidence reported by @IranViewer about China postponing the signing of a 25-year Iran-China agreement until after the US election provides further supporting evidence. https://t.c

Just read it. Very good piece!

China strategically hedges in the Persian Gulf: to open up local markets to Chinese companies and secure oil supplies. China tries to maintain good relations with rivals Iran & Saudi Arabia simultaneously: hence slower than expected investment in Iran.
