Abstract
The article focuses on China’s influence as a rising power in the Central Asia’s geo-economy. As the outcome of this presence, the region’s geo-economy has such changed that China became the most important player in the fields of commerce, investment and transit as well. The increasing influence of China in the Central Asia region, has not only changed the regional wealth and power equations, but transformed the traditional rivalry of the great powers into a new era as well. Influenced by the Chinese presence, the ultra regional powers have also been faced with a new type of regional equation. Early indications on the current status of the region show that China's strategic desire is going to expand the geo-economical sphere of influence into an area of geopolitical. In case of continuity and success in diversifying China’s areas of influence in Central Asia, it seems quite likely that the region’s economic and political order will substantively suffer innate changes
