China has massive economic exposure to the Middle East:



China has spent over $269 billion on investments and construction contracts across the Middle East since 2005.

Saudi Arabia is the largest recipient at $82 billion, followed by the UAE at $48 billion, and Iraq at $40 billion.

Furthermore, Chinese investments and construction contracts in Iran have reached $25 billion.

Meanwhile, Middle East trade with China has more than doubled since 2017, to $317 billion in 2024.

That is nearly 4 times the $85 billion in trade with the US in 2024.

China is heavily tied to the Middle East's economy.
