Özet:

The People's Republic of China started to open to the world in 1978. It has become the second largest economy in the world from a semi-poor country with its economic policies. In addition, the Belt Road Project launched in 2013 is able to provide both economic power and regional influence to China. The project can be expressed as the revival of the historical Silk Road with infrastructure investments and transportation Networks. In addition, the main crossroads of the Belt Road Project are the Central Asian region where Turkish dormitories are located. In this article, firstly, the discussions about whether Beijing's said rise could be permanent was evaluated within the scope of World Bank's China 2030 ’report. China's current economic outlook and its rapidly increasing investments within the scope of the Belt Road Project lead to the assumption that it will be the dominant country in the world economy in the coming years. The continuation of China's rise in the report is linked to the development of the global economic environment and the momentum of development in China. In the article, second, it is discussed how China's economic and political progress will affect the Central Asian countries. The Belt Road Project, which includes China's infrastructure and investments directly to European markets, has been evaluated at this point for Central Asian countries. There are comments that the project will increase the level of welfare of Turkish dormitories and will have a positive effect on their economies. While Central Asian countries will participate in the Chinese project, it is unclear whether Beijing will influence the independence of Turkish dormitories and whether Central Asian countries will fall under the economic influence of China.
