Chinese Eurasian integration within the range of the initiative "One Belt and One Path"
This article examines China's “One Belt and One Path” initiative and its prospects for Eurasian economic and political integration. From the point of view of development, the One Belt and One Path Initiative has already contributed to multi-polar progress, to the strengthening of mutual trust and prosperity of the regions' economy; it helped to reduce security concerns and to formulate new models for interregional development-oriented cooperation. Despite material resources and conceptual recognition, the implementation of the strategy of Eurasian integration of China within the framework of the One Belt and One Path initiative will certainly face many difficulties and problems. For China, Central Asia is a region which is important for global Eurasian integration; this is the place through which China will have to take the initiative One Belt and One Path to connect European routes. Russia also has its own plan of similar nature, the Eurasian Economic Union. The implementation of the Chinese initiative One Belt and One Path has just begun its implementation; in the future it will bring more investment to the countries of Central Asia in the construction of transport infrastructure. In addition, political and economic integration between Central Asian countries and China will become even closer.
