https://doi.org/10.24975/2313-8920-2023-10-1-57-66
Abstract
China’s steadily growing mineral resource requirements actualize its need to ensure continuous access to a reliable resource base. Central Asia with its ample fuel and energy raw materials, ore deposits, and renewables is viewed a viable option in this regard. The article provides analysis of the PRC’s current policy in each of the fi ve regional countries (Tajikistan Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan). It singles out both diff erences and similarities inherent in the policy conducted and studies the instruments through which it is being realized. Besides, the paper considers such policy’s implications for regional development as well as its place in the overall Chinese foreign strategy.
