Central Asia, as a region—much of its fate is being determined by its geographic location
between great powers such as China on the one hand, Russia, India, Europe
further to the west, so Central Asia as a region is at a crossroads.

We’re talking about issues of economic survival.. Not many people have access to jobs, and this makes them more vulnerable.

by trying to silence any moderate dissent.. What they may risk to get in the end is extremism.. In the long term, there will be a kind of friction between Russia and China
