On Geopolitical Situation of Central Asia and its Impact on China

Once regarded as World Island by famous politician Mac Kinder, the Eurasian continental heartland, Central Asia has an extremely important geopolitical strategic location. Central Asia is not only rich in oil and gas resources, but also the strategic passage connecting Europe and Asia. After the cold war, all major powers have been engaging in it, making Central Asia a new spotlight that great powers and regional forces rival for. Because the countries in Central Asia are neighboring to China, the fierce geopolitical competition situation in Central Asia is inevitably in close relation to China's strategic interest and will surely exert a great influence on the stability of border areas and safety of energy in China.
