China-Russia Relations in Geopolitical Dynamics of the Central Asian Region

2024-01-31T16:44:07+00:00

The Central Asian region was originally part of the Soviet Union's territory which was rich in natural resources, especially oil and natural gas. Apart from that, this region is also very strategic because it is a connecting area between Europe and Asia, as well as between East Asia and the Middle East. After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, many large countries were interested in exerting influence in this region. Russia, as the largest country after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, is trying to maintain the influence it inherited from the Soviet Union. The United States is also trying to increase its influence in the region. Apart from that, China, as a neighboring country in the Central Asian region, which is currently a new global actor, also has a high interest in expanding its influence in the Central Asian region. The competition between large countries in the Central Asian region, especially between China and Russia, is what attracted the author to conduct the research written in this article. The author conducted qualitative research with secondary data sources originating from various literature, and used Power Transition theory to analyze relations between China and Russia, especially China's strategy for Russia to jointly protect the Central Asian region from the influence of other global actors. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization is a research boundary set by the author in looking at geopolitical dynamics in Central Asia, apart from the existence of several other points of view which can also be used as research limitations.

The expected finding from this research is how the relationship between China and Russia has a significant geopolitical impact positive for countries in the Central Asian region, thus making countries in the region prefer to remain together with China and Russia in developing their region.
