China, the US and Central Asian Geopolitics

The former Indian diplomat M K Bhadrakumar with a comprehensive and thoughtful analysis of new geopolitical trends in Central Asia.  The major thrust of this is that China has spent years establishing diplomatic and business relations with key natural gas providers like Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan and that Russia is largely supportive of this as it will enhance their ability to control supplies to Europe.

Very intricate, but worthwhile to read as it shows the very significant challenges the US faces in the region.  It also offers further evidence of just how adroit and patient China is as they move to secure their energy requirements.
