AxisChinese-Russian Repartition of Asia
Main dividends from the bankruptcy of the West’s Central Asian policy are being shared by the Russians and the Chinese. Contrary to other parties of "anti-Western front", Beijing and Moscow were tenaciously striving to push the Americans out of the region. For this purpose they, among other means, used their influence over Tashkent and Bishkek, in the framework of Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Both Russia and China to the same extent benefited from the change of external powers in the region in 2005. However, in a long-term prospective, Beijing has a real chance of monopolizing economic and political influence in Central Asia.
