Abstract :In forty years of reform and implementation of open economy policies, great  changes have taken place in China. With the country’s high engagement  with the world, it became obvious that China did not isolate itself from the  global developments. The rapid growth of China’s economy and the country’s  growing ties with the rest of the world necessitates the development  of new concepts and approaches in the Chinese diplomacy. China’s emerging  role in the international arena triggers a change in current international  political environment and causes further rebalancing of multipolar system.  Therefore, strengthening multilateral cooperation with the other regional  powers and international organizations provides suitable atmosphere for  development. The study explores the key factors of interest for China in  Central Asian states from the point of view of implementing its outside economic  strategies.
