With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, independent
states such as Kazakhstan sprang up along China's western frontier.
Suddenly, Beijing was forced to confront internal challenges to its
authority at its border as well as international competition for
energy and authority in Central Asia. Hasan Karrar traces how China
cooperated with Russia and the Central Asian republics to stabilize
the region, facilitate commerce, and build an energy infrastructure
to import the region's oil. While China's gradualist approach to
Central Asia prioritized multilateral diplomacy, it also brought
Beijing into direct competition with the United States, which views
Central Asia as vital to its strategic interests.
