With the disintegration of Soviet Union in the 1990s, the pattern of Central Asia has changed greatly as well as international relations have been readjusted. Central Asia, once a hub for communication between the East and the West and a place where cultures converge, has once again become a focus of world attention after several centuries. Since Central Asia gained its independent geopolitical space, the achievements made by five Central Asian countries in the past 30 years are obvious: five Central Asian countries have effectively safeguarded their respective national sovereignty; more importantly, they have avoided major destructive events during the transition process and maintained national and social stability. In addition, through foreign exchanges, five Central Asian countries have better integrated into the international community and achieved steady economic and social promotion. In this regard, Chinese scholars have paid more attention to Central Asia. Since 1991, China’s Central Asian studies have obtained remarkable achievements and made important contributions to promoting friendly communication between China and Central Asian countries.
