After the China-Central Asia summit in Xi'an, it was announced that China would allocate $3.7 billion to support the countries of the region. However, the proportion of funds allocated to each country has not yet been announced. Portal "Avesta" publishes its calculations on the results of the summit.
In particular, the authors of the publication claim that some "part of the experts expected the almost complete loss of Central Asia for Russia and the registration of the "purchase" of the Celestial Empire of all five countries. None of this, however, has happened yet, since the Chinese took into account that all five countries still connected with Russia and conducted the summit so carefully that Central Asia was not offended, and Russia was weakened as much as they wanted", Avesta wrote.
Experts also expected that China would create a Fund for Support of the Central Asian Countries and put an impressive amount of dollars into it, as was done for African countries. But it is not in vain that they say that the Chinese are wise and straightforward people, and therefore they decided to give five countries only $ 3.7 billion.
“Most likely, dollars will be given in cash, since they are more pleasing to the eye and to the touch. Watching how the hosts seated guests around President Xi at the final press conference, one can most likely guess who and how much of this money will get,” the author of the publication claims.
In his opinion, "the largest share will probably go to Kazakhstan - $1 billion. For $0.7 billion to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. And also equally - to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan - $0.5 billion each. The press did not say for how long will allocate this money.
"It is also not indicated when and in what tranches Beijing will allocate $500 million in preferential funds to Tajikistan for the Rogun HPP. Most likely, all this money will not be given immediately, but within 3-4 years, and this period will be enough to control how they And there will be enough time for each country to mature the expectations of the next payments.In other words, the summit ended with China's complete success," says Avesta.
