China’s Global Security Initiative: Tilting the Balance in Central Asia

As part of the United States Institute of Peace project "Tracking China's Global Security Initiative", a new research article of the Head of the IAIS China Programme Abbos Bobokhonov was published.

 

The article discusses China's Global Security Initiative (GSI) and its impact on Central Asia. The GSI, introduced by China, is seen as a strategic move to increase its influence in Central Asia, particularly as it seeks to balance against the presence of Russia and the West in the region. The initiative is part of China's broader efforts to shape security dynamics globally, with a focus on creating a multipolar world order, which could potentially tilt the regional balance of power, challenging the traditional influence of Russia and other powers in the area.
