Upadek Związku Radzieckiego diametralnie zmienił sytuację geopolityczną w Eurazji. Nowopowstałe państwa Azji Centralnej to rejon o największych potencjalnie zasobach ropy naftowej i gazu ziemnego. Jest to zarówno szansa, jak i wyzwania dla istniejącego ładu międzynarodowego. Region stał się polem działania nie tylko dotychczasowych graczy – Federacji Rosyjskiej i Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki, lecz również wschodzącego mocarstwa – Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej. Zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa energetycznego Chin jest warunkiem sine qua non dla kontynuowania wzrostu na płaszczyźnie ekonomicznej i militarnej. Działania ChRL w regionie zakładają maksymalizację współpracy wydobywczej, zwiększanie stabilności regionu oraz zdobywanie nowych rynków dla chińskich przedsiębiorstw.

Central Asia is becoming more significant politically and economically because of its geopolitical position in Eurasia. It probably contains some of the largest undeveloped oil and gas reserves in the world. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the newly-independent Central Asian states became open to foreign investments. The region can play an important role in the diversification of oil and gas supplies and consequently in global energy security. There are many external actors that want to be active and influential in Central Asia’s energy geopolitics. China is one of the most prominent players. Its growing energy needs have given it a strong interest in developing ties with the energy-producing states in the region. It participates in energy infrastructure projects to find opportunities to get access to oil and gas resources.
