The China and Central Asia Summit, which closed in Xi'an on May 19, was regarded as a major breakthrough in China in the fields of geopolitics, diplomacy, and economy.Coupled with Russia's open Far East City, the Farladivatok (known as Vladivostok) as the port of China, the bonus that the Russian and Ukraine War brought to China is emerging.
The five Central Asian countries Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan are all former Soviet joining republics. It belongs to the Russian traditional sphere of influence and is also a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, including China and Russia.
After the establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in 2001, the relationship between China and the five Central Asian countries has developed a lot, but Russia has always had a strong influence on the five Central Asian countries.Essence
Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang said that this time the Chinese-Central Asian Summit is the first large-scale multilateral activity sponsored by China after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the National Congress of China.Holding a summit is also the first summit for the establishment of the China-Central Asian mechanism for three years, and a new historical monument has been established in the history of China-Central Asian relations.
Qin Gang did not explicitly say that this summit is also the first time that there is no Russia's participation in China and the Central Asia Summit.It can be imagined that if Russia was not trapped in the Russian and Ukraine War and was severely sanctioned by Western countries, it would be difficult for the summit to exclude itself.
During theSummit, China and the five Central Asian countries reached seven double -multi -side documents including the China -Central Asian Summit's Xi'an Declaration China -Central Asian Summit Achievement List, signed more than 100 cooperation agreements in various fields.
Qin Gang said that the results of the summit, the facts of content, and the impact were unprecedented.You can use five "new" to summarize: first, it provides new impetus for deepening China -Central Asian relations; the other is to build a new platform for expanding exchanges and cooperation in various fields; the third is to open up new prospects for deepening mutual benefit and win -win;It contributed new forces to maintain international fairness and justice; fifth is to set a new model for developing countries to unite and strengthen.
Qin Gang also said that cooperation between China and Central Asia is not targeted at any third party, nor is it subject to third parties. He does not engage in the "small circle" of his closed row, and also opposes the group's political and cold war confrontation.Qin Gang's third party refers not only to foreign countries such as the United States, but also Russia, which is closely related to Central Asia.
The Xi'an Declaration passed by the summit specifically mentioned the accelerated landing construction of the China-Jiwu Railway, saying that it should consolidate Central Asia as an important position as an Eurasian transportation hub, accelerate the construction of the China-Central Asian Transportation Corridor, develop China-Central Asia-Central Asia-Central Asia-Ti South Asia, China-Central Asia-Central East, China-Central Asia-Europe multi-type transportation, including Central-Ha-Tu-I (Lang) transit channels, and so on.
Zhongjiwu Railway is an important part of the southern channel of the Central European trains.As early as 1997, the three -nation of Zhongji and Wudi built a memorandum of signing a railway project of the Three Kingdoms of Unicom.After the completion of this railway, the railway transport distance from China to the Middle East and South Europe will shorten about 900 kilometers compared with the current time, saving seven days to eight days. The railway will also provide convenient conditions for Central Asian countries to enter the Persian Gulf and Pacific Port.However, the Zhongji -Wu Railway has not made substantial progress. One important reason is Russia's obstruction.
Russia's opposition to the construction of the China -Jiwu Railway is mainly to worry that this railway will enhance China's influence in Central Asia and make the Central Asian countries rely more on China to leave Russia's control.After the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine War last year, Russia, which has suffered Western sanctions, has increased significantly to China, and has to agree with the construction of the China -Jiyu Railway.
On May 18, the China National Development and Reform Commission and the Kyrgyzstan Communications and Communications Department and Uzbekistan Ministry of Communications signed a memorandum of understanding of the China -Geewu Railway, marking the end of the project feasibility research work.
In addition to the China-Jiwu Railway, China and Uzbekistan also announced that they will build another railway, China Unicom Central Asia-Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Russian officials have not publicly opposed or questioned the unprecedented summit of China-Central Asia.It is clear that Russia is clearly clear that it is unable to stop the establishment of more close relations with Central Asian countries and China, and it cannot be separated from China's support and help.
Therefore, Russia not only did not oppose the China-Central Asian Summit, but instead opened the port of Vladivostok, which was opened to the Far East to China.This was after the annexation of Vladivostok was annexed by Tsar Russia 163 years ago, this port once again became China's domestic trade port.
Of course, China will not alienate Russia because of major progress with Central Asian countries.As soon as the China-Central Asian Summit was closed, China announced that Russian Prime Minister Michase Beijing would officially visit China from May 23 to 24. Chen Wenqing, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China and secretary of the Central Political and Legal Committee of the Central Committee, willOn the 28th, he went to Russia to attend the Eighth International Conference of the 11th Safety Affairs and held the eighth meeting of the Sino -Russian law enforcement security cooperation mechanism.
According to the data released by the China Customs Department on May 17, the import and export of China and the five Central Asian countries in the first four months of this year (RMB, the same below, about S $ 34.6 billion), a year -on -year increase of 37.3%.In April, the total trade between China and the five Central Asian countries was as high as 50 billion yuan, which means that the total bilateral trade between China and the five Central Asian countries may exceed 100 billion US dollars next year.
At the same time, China -Russia bilateral trade volume is also growing at high speed, and Chinese goods are replacing a large number of Western products withdrawn from the Russian market.Obviously, while actively expanding relations with Central Asian countries, China will also stabilize Sino -Russian relations and continue to harvest geopolitics and economic dividends brought by the Russian and Ukraine War.
