Central Asia, I Think, Is China Going to Buy Up Our Territories?

In cosekstan, there was a series of protests am the short version isthat the government was proposing and planning to change a a land code. That got kind of parleyed into an, oh, no, the chinese are going to buy up all our territory. So there's also an anxiety about chinese intervention in central asia that meres anxiety about russian in mention. And so i think you're right, there might be more impetus to further diversify centralasion economies away from those two major partners. I think that's going to be difficult, because, you know, geography is very hard to fight.
