It seems like I missed out on development of existing railway between China and Iran already. Did a look up here and it does appear to be in service, although not particularly fast (14 days)
So, they need to look into getting pipeline built from Iran for both oil and natural gas. You want to get to a point where you are not dependent on any LNG, because the latter is expensive.

If you're Turkmenistan, would you allow any gas transit through your territory to China? They don't want competition going through their own country
Turkmenistan could capitalize on transit fees as well as maybe pump their own gas into that pipeline
The rail way already goes through Afghanistan. You can try building pipeline across Afghanistan.
If that's too problematic for you, you can build one from Pakistan. And then you get Iran -> Pakistan -> China through smaller part of Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
If that's too hard to build, then you can still try building an oil pipeline through Turkmenistan.
You need the oil more than the gas in a war scenario.
Whatever you do, keep working on getting that rail corridor going. You need minerals from Afghanistan and Iran.
From Army export thread. Serbia buying more FK-3 and HQ-17A from China.
This is after the free trade agreement last year which some Western critics freaked out about.
Talks here of using Yuan as trading currency
There is the major investment recently into renewable sector of Serbia
I wonder if we can get Serbia to buy more weapons like artillery or armored vehicles or even something like JF-17/J-10C
Serbia is in a very tough spot. What is their primary import/export port?
Rail going through the Himalayas is difficult. Not impossible considering the Karakorum Highway that was built there, connecting Pakistan to China; but given how difficult and deadly that project was, rail through the same area may not be ideal.
a win for China in Maldives. Now, India will be forced to withdraw its troops from there and maybe China can build its large ports.
Serbia is landlocked after Montenegro broke away then joined NATO. That worries me.
