China and Iran have featured heavily in the news in recent years. China is both a military and an economic superpower with 20% of the world’s population; Iran is suspected of developing nuclear weapons and arming terrorists, and sits on the world’s second-largest oil and gas reserves. They are also surprisingly close geographically: Iran is only 700 miles across Afghanistan from China’s extreme western border. A 25-year, $100 billion deal for Iran to supply China with oil and gas and the large number of Chinese companies operating in Iran shows that the two are moving increasingly close in both political and economic terms. But what does this mean for the rest of the world, and especially for "the West?" Edward Burman examines how the strikingly similar histories of these two ancient civilizations can inform what the likely consequences for the world of an alliance between them might be.
