    The Impact of China's Econo

    May 20, 2009 Testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission Hearing on “The Impact of China’s Economic and Security Interests in Continental Asia on the United States” Why Does China Have No Business in Central Asia? Martin C. Spechler Professor of Economics, Indiana University A search of many current sources and messages from several of my personal contacts in Central Asia indicate, not surprisingly, that People’s Republic of China (PRC) has little significant normal commercial business in the five post-Soviet countries of Central Asia. This does not deny that China is conducting a growing state-to-state trade and investment program. China wants oil and gas more than anything else in Central Asia, aside perhaps from control of Uighur separatists in the Xinjiang-Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) in China’s northwest frontier. Chinese energy investments in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan will be reviewed by another informant.1 There is also a large amount of smuggling and informal “shuttle trade” from China’s township and village enterprises (TVE’s) to Kazakhstan and onwards to the bazaars of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Organized commercial trade by established Chinese business enterprises, however, must be judged insignificant. There are several structural reasons to expect this situation to continue for years to come. Total trade Both the destination and the values of trade between China and the countries of Central Asia are difficult to ascertain. Relevant figures are published by the International Monetary Fund in its quarterly Directions of Trade Statistics and by the Asian Development Bank in its Key Indicators.

    Tajikistan & Kyrgyzstan

    Tajikistan & Kyrgyzstan: Through the High Pamirs 5 JUN – 22 JUN 2018 Code: 21820 Tour Leaders Assoc. Prof. Alex McKay, Russell Casey Physical Ratings Central Asian historian Dr Alex McKay, explores the extraordinary landscapes of the Tajik High Pamirs, land of the ‘Great Game’. Overview This tour is limited to 18 participants Rough and rugged Tajikistan is a place where few travellers venture. The Pamir Highway (M41) is the second highest road on earth (next to the Karakorum in Pakistan) and the majority of the highway is in Tajikistan. Our journey takes us through some of the most impressive mountain ranges on earth – the scenery on this drive is spectacular. This epic road trip through the Pamirs involves staying in some very basic guesthouses in multi-share rooms, as well as extensive travel on varied terrain at high altitude. It is not for the faint- hearted and is ASA’s first tour with a physical endurance level rated as 7 flags. All participants will be required to consult with their GP to confirm they are fit to travel. Tour Highlights Travel with Central Asian historian, Dr Alex McKay, on this cultural expedition through mountainous Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Alex will be assisted by ASA's Central Asian tour leader Russell Casey. Journey through spectacular landscapes of glacial lakes, colourful meadows of flowers, turquoise alpine rivers, and stark mountain crags. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Penjikent, Central Asia's 'Pompeii', an ancient Sogdian Silk Road city destroyed by Arabs in the 8th century AD. Engage with the unique culture and beliefs of the blonde-haired and blue-eyed Pamiri Tajiks: Ismaili followers of the Agha Khan, descendants of the fabled medieval 'Assassins' as well as the original inhabitants of Central Asia.
