  1. well, Russian GDP is only 10% of China so Russia can't really help economy of Central Asia, Russia and Central Asian countries are even natural resource rivals in China or Europe market, when Russia military looks not strong as people expected then Central Asia would not be so obedient to big brother, especially Kazakstan also got 19 million Russian minorty like 16% of its population, Kazakstan is worried and turning anti-Russia pro-USA because there's risk that Russia may support their separatism like did in Crimea and Donbass too, Kazakstan need outsider's help to balance and weaken Russia's influence and control, it's either West or China. China and Central Asia are complementary to each other, China got largest industrial output but only lacks natural resource, that's both Russia and Central Asia should compete to win Chinese market, so if China and Central Asian can cooperate then it's a win-win for both, the problem is can Russia let Central Asia go? Russia today face serious pressure from Western backyard side in Ukraine, so Russia can't accept South backyard in fire again, if Russia has no ability to keep Central Asia as pro-Russia then Russia need to accept a less worse choice, today Russia only has two option: let West or China to fill that void in Central Asia, surely Russia would rather to give her back to China, because China and Russia shared longest border, if China wants to backstab Russia then China can just attack Russia on Sino-Russian border, Russia can't lose China to back up Russia economically, militarily and strategically under Western sanction and encirclement, let Chinese Belt&Road to link Xinjiang and Moscow through Central Asia, better China than USA. China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan recently signed a railway deal, acutally China planned about this deal for 20 years, why it delayed so long time? it's just because Russia let it go, China knew Russia's concern so China never really challenged Russian influence in Central Asia in last 20 years, China didn't really push it to happen and force Russia to accept Chinese influence in Central Asia, but China to let it to happen naturally and keep Russia interests there too.
