- Abstract
In recent years, under the influence of "harmonious diplomacy" China has given every effort to improve its relationship with neighbouring countries to make a peaceful environment not only in accordance with the common interest of the Chinese and others, but also to facilitate peace and development in Asia. Due to its important strategic position and rich energy resources, Central Asia is seen as the Second Middle East and the strategic energy base for the 21st century, giving the region importance in China's strategic planning. Under the guidance of harmonious diplomacy, China has set up the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to strengthen its political, security and economic partnership with Central Asia in hopes of maintaining Chinese national interest and breaking through American containment. This paper aims to clarify expectations of China's future policy towards Central Asia by exploring the policies that has been adopted towards the region.
