Kazakhstan considers other Russian because Russia has the technology and strength. With Russia we have always evolved. Without Russia, in front of you, like us, have the example of Ukraine. When can we have a sufficient level of technology that would become Russia we do not need, we may turn away from Russia. But I'm not sure. Russia has always been a strong country that has moved the world forward. Perhaps China will soon grow and become strong. But with China we have cultural ties - no. We do not know them. Economic, yes, we are trading. They have to buy raw materials, we have the products. But people do not know Chinese. Which they are.
Example. You come to another city. Since you came to your friend with whom you have lived up to this, for example in another city. You have a lot in common with him, you know him and trust him. And China, Turkey, is a different person, like a good, but you do not know it.
Therefore, it may take a long time before we know each other. China, Turkey, Iran, India, Pakistan. We are now in a stage of transition from the old world, ruled by the United States, a new, where it is not known who is stronger. We prefer to move on to a friend who always helped us.
