i do not worry about Chinese 'exporting' Han people into CA, that is just unrealistic Russian propaganda. I am more cautious of China using its leverage on CA like Russia does. Compared to Russia, China is a relative new player to CA, so i have more question marks about China than Russia, but that doesnt mean that China will only bring negative influence to the region. to be honest, i prefer Russia and China to get bad relationship due CA. More assertive China in CA should mean a disappointed Russia, so Turkic countries will have more options (for example, Turkmenistan was dependent on Russia for exporting natural resources to Europe, but now they have pipeline with China too) instead of relying only on Russia for various kind of reasons. There are already Chinese pipeline plans in CA and i think Russia is more negative about Chinese investments than positive.Our relation with central Asian nations based on the the five principles of peaceful coexistence,we want to cooperate with them in economic development and deal with Islamic extremism
Also the Hans moving into Xinjiang is true in some sense,but the areas they moved in are Jungaria,not southern Xinjiang,southern Xinjiang always has a Uyghur-majority population and can not changed,while even before PRC founded,the city Urumqi(known as Dihua that time) has a Han majority population.Jungaria is former Jungar land,the land was conquered by Qianlong empire,the Jungar population unfortunately wiped out by Imperial Chinese army,so the people from China proper settled in Jungaria.
Central Asia has millions people,I don't think China want to add millions muslims to be their citizens,so the concern of Chinese take over central asia is just a lie created by Russians to justice their rule in central asia
Sure, if an European Union can exist, why can't a Turkic union that has more in common than EU countries. Just because Russia's project failed doesnt mean that Turkics will also fail per se. As long as Turkic leaders want it, I am confident that we can slowly go to that goal. If you noticed, recently (since 2002) it is the Turkic leaders like Nazarbayev, Aliyev and Atambajev who made the most pro-Turkic voices while our Erdogan (though he did some pro-Turkic things too) is mostly sleeping and dreaming about the ME. Instead he should mostly focus in Turkic world. If leaders like Nazarbayev, Aliyev and Atambajev will continue to exist, i think it is only a matter of time in the future till Turkic countries will slowly come together. First soft power, then economical co-op, then political and military, but last 2 are far away.You want to build a union based on the similarity of the language and culture? This is an utopia. In the 19th century, Russia has invested huge sources in the pan-Slavism. And Russia was in much more advantageous position - Russia was a superpower, and Russia was the only independent Slavic country in the world. However, it turned out that the cultural community has nothing to do with politics. Except for Serbs and Montenegrins, all other Slavic countries gladly sold out themselvez to west.
Returning to the borders of the USSR in Central Asia - the issue of border security, as in the steppes of Kazakhstan can not be any boundaries at all. And the process goes - were recreated military bases in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, their weapons constantly updated, besides Russia invests hundreds millon dollars in the development of armies of Kirgizia and Tajikistan.
