The article presents analysis of the development of China’s soft power in Central Asia. Since 2005, China has been trying to promote Chinese language and culture in Central Asia. Institutes of Confucius began to appear in the region. There are currently 13 of them. More and more youth from this region are learning Chinese. They also go to China to study at Chinese universities. Learning Chinese language increases the prospects of professional development and employment for people from the region. However, China still has a long way to achieve a satisfactory level of promoting its culture in the region. There are accusations that Beijing wants to train the Central Asian elites in line with the Chinese model. Central Asian states are, however, particularly sensitive to their cultural heritage. Cultural independence is among the foreign policy priorities of these countries. Beijing should continue to increase efforts to create a positive image in the countries of the region. The new Silk Road is becoming an important element of diplomacy to promote Chinese soft power.

В статье представлен анализ развития мягкой силы Китая в Центральной Азии. С 2005 года Китай пытается популяризовать китайский язык и культуру в Центральной Азии. В регионе начали появляться институты Конфуция. В настоящее время их тринадцать. Всë больше молодежи из этого региона изучают китайский язык. Они также отправляются в Китай для обучения в китайских вузах. Изучение китайского языка повышает перспективы профессионального развития и занятости людей из региона. Тем не менее, Китай по-прежнему имеет далëкий путь к достижению удовлетворительного уровня популяризации своей культуры в регионе. Есть обвинения в том, что Пекин хочет обучать среднеазиатские элиты в соответствии с китайской моделью. Однако центральноазиатские государства особенно чувствительны к их культурному наследию. Культурная независимость является одним из приоритетов внешней политики этих стран. Пекин должен в дальнейшем увеличивать усилия по созданию позитивного имиджа в странах региона. Новый Шëлковый путь становится важным элементом дипломатии для популяризации мягкой силы Китая.
