Abstract

Central Asia's importance in the global energy and transportation industries has been bolstered by developments in Afghanistan and Ukraine. Investments in the Belt and Road Initiative and the Gwadar Port are the subject of this research. In recent years, China has increased its bilateral, regional, and international investment activity. Central Asia is strategically important due to its proximity to oil reserves and the ancient silk road, both of which are contested territories among global powers. The geopolitical, geostrategic, and geo-economics implications of China's investment in Central Asia are explored in this article. Using Mackinder's Heartland and a constructivist technique, this research assesses China's influence in Central Asia. In this probe, we placed a premium on hard data and impartiality. Using both direct and secondary sources, the researcher analyzed China's influence in Central Asia. The Gwadar port and the Belt and Road initiative are both very important. The paper finishes with a goal explanation and analysis of China's Central Asia participation.
