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.

The idea of the “One Belt, One Road” will promote the China as a soft power and attractive player in the global market. It is related to China’s perception of global changes brought about by financial crisis, and growing world-wide interdependence. Beijing’s initiative aims on the potential for increased economic exchanges between China and Europe. In fact, the One Belt, One Road (OBOR) can be called a comprehensive domestic and foreign policy concept. Historically, the concept of the “Silk Road” was not only about trade, but also had significant cultural meaning. The OBOR initiative could serve as a cultural bridge between Europe and China, which should not only be understood as “two markets” and “two forces,” but also as “two civilizations”. This concept might be especially profitable for Central and Eastern European countries which focus on strengthening relations with the PRC after years of mutual insignificance and strive for balancing huge trade deficit and attracting Chinese investments.
