China’s Belt and Road Initiative is both an opportunity and challenge for Central Asian
countries and the European Union. As an initiative announced in Astana, it may make Europe

different connections and routes, additional initiatives and diplomacy suggest OBOR is in line
with the global Chinese strategy.
