Chinese and Russian Economic Interests in Central Asia
Chinese and Russian Economic Interests in Central Asia
Comparative Analysis
This chapter provides a comparative analysis of Chinese and Russian economic interests in Central Asia. Russian economic interests in Central Asia mainly work under the assumption that strengthening economic ties with Central Asia will lead to Eurasian economic integration or Eurasian Alliance with the region, and promote the development of the Russian economy. In contrast, China's economic interests in Central Asia are aimed at facilitating economic development of both sides through bilateral trade and investment with the region. Moreover, Central Asia's prosperity and stability can not only maintain the safety of Xinjiang Province and even the western region of China, but also provide a secure external barrier for China to resist traditional security threats.
Keywords: Chinese economic interests, Russian economic interests, Central Asia, Eurasian Alliance, Russian domestic economy, Xinjiang Province
