Description: Based on more than a decade's writing research and travel this book offers a rare glimpse into China's expanding economic cultural and political power in the Eurasian heartland. China's rise is changing the world. Much attention has been given to how China's geo - economic vision is playing out in the global economy or how its technology is reshaping the planet yet it is over its western borders in Central Asia that China's influence has been quietly expanding in a more pervasive way. It is here that you can find the first strand of Xi Jinping's grand Belt and Road Initiative China's new Silk Road to the West. It is to the Eurasian heartland that we can look for an understanding of China's new foreign policy vision and its consequences. In Sinostan two acclaimed foreign policy experts recount their travels across Central Asia to keep their finger on the pulse and tell the story of China's growing influence. They interview Chinese traders in latter day Silk Road bazaars; climb remote mountain passes threatened by construction; commiserate with Afghan archaeologists charged with saving centuries - old Buddhist ruins before they are swept away by mining projects; meet with eager young Central Asians learning Mandarin; and sit with officials in all five Central Asian capitals bearing witness to a region increasingly transformed by Beijing's presence. Their stories and experiences illustrate how China's foreign policy initiative has expressed itself on the ground and what it means for those living both within and beyond the boundaries of its 'inadvertent empire'.
