Silk Road: Uzbekistan - News and Events

The Xinjiang factor in the new Silk Road

Because of endless reports on conflicts, trafficking, corruption, terrorism and extreme poverty, Central Asia's image is largely negative. When Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security adviser to US president Jimmy Carter, spoke about the "Eurasian Balkans" in his book The Grand Chessboard to describe Central Asia, he was contributing to a pejorative stereotype that does not reflect the complex reality, and certainly does not serve the interests of the people living between the Caspian Sea and the Gobi Desert.

True, President Hamid Karzai's Afghanistan is far from stable, Pakistan's political situation is fragile, and post-Soviet Central Asia is in a difficult transition, but the region is certainly not in desperate chaos. If one can measure the constructive role played by Xinjiang in the middle of a new Silk Road, and put aside the irrelevant notion of a "Great Game", Central Asia appears as a source of hope and a land of opportunities. One has to rethink Central Asia as a key component of a Eurasian axis of development.
