Why is Mirziyoyev here again?
Uzbekistan's ** Mirziyoyev visited China again, which was a remarkable move. Analysts speculate that the visit is likely to involve the high-speed rail project in China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway is a high-speed railway between China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, which aims to establish a fast and effective transportation corridor for the region and promote regional economic integration and development. With a total length of 523 km, this line will not only greatly reduce traffic between China and Europe and the Middle East, but also greatly promote the countries along the route.
Uzbekistan is a key partner in this project, and this visit to China shows that the country is concerned about this project and has more intentions to cooperate. This study is of great significance for improving the operational efficiency of China's urban transportation system and saving transportation costs. It is expected that approximately 900 kilometres of travel will be saved, shortening the journey by 7 to 8 days. At the same time, the completion of the project will also promote the integration of resources and markets between regions, provide new investment opportunities and jobs for neighboring countries, and improve people's livelihood.
Although the construction of the railway will encounter great difficulties, especially with the connection with Russia. Russia has always regarded Central Asia as its "back garden" and has been very cautious about the intervention of other forces. Russia has always refused to budge an inch in the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway. On the Russian side, after more than 20 years of waiting, there is finally a possibility of starting construction. However, Russia's advantageous position in the war in Ukraine is gradually emerging, and it is likely to reassert its power in Central Asia in a more powerful way. The completion of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway will have a positive impact on the Russian-controlled "north-south corridor", thus rewriting the regional transport map.
To a large extent, Mirziyoyev's visit is aimed at ensuring the smooth progress of the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan high-speed railway. India, on the other hand, stood up and was the first to stand up, saying that the completion of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway would jeopardize its interests in Central Asia and undermine the influence of Russia and the United States in the region. India's concerns, however, stem more from its strategy of finding its foothold in Central Asia, which is to use public influence over China to contain relations between Central Asian countries and China.
Game and collaboration between India and Central Asia.
With the implementation of the China-Jilin-Uzbekistan high-speed railway project, the geographical situation in Central Asia has undergone a new transformation. China's increasingly close relations with Central Asian countries have provided new opportunities for regional and even world economic development. However, India is dissatisfied with the close relations between China and Central Asia, and has done everything possible to obstruct Central Asian countries from engaging in exchanges with China in order to maintain its right to speak in the region.
India has long been interested in entering Central Asia, trying to reach it via Pakistan, Afghanistan and other routes. However, India and Pakistan are enemies, which has led India to turn its mind to Afghanistan. However, with the Taliban coming to power, the Indian project has been bogged down. With the Central Asian countries having close ties with China, India feels that its influence in the region is in jeopardy.
However, India's attempt to use public opinion to hinder cooperation between Central Asian countries and China is clearly inadequate. India should realize that to follow the right path, it must change and improve its competitiveness. If China wants to gain greater benefits in Central Asia, it must start by deepening domestic reforms, enhancing international competitiveness, and raising the level of regional cooperation.
Brief summary. Mirziyoyev, Uzbekistan**, visited China again, seemingly for the sake of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project. Through this study, we can effectively promote the development of regional economy, improve the efficiency of transportation, promote the integration of resources and markets in the region, and provide more investment opportunities and jobs for countries along the route. However, this plan was opposed by Russia, as well as by India. In order to protect its rights and interests in Central Asia, India has used the public to influence the policies of Central Asian countries. But India should focus on its own transformation and competitiveness, and find efficient ways to collaborate with other countries, rather than holding them back to preserve its position. If India wants to gain real influence and maximize its national interests in international competition and cooperation in Central Asia, it must clarify its position and direction of development.
