After the ending of Cold War, five countries in Central Asia obtain the independence in a hurry, the politics and economy are placed in a transforming period, the social safety mechanism is very weak, the "three vicious influences" act frequently, and the safe situation in region worries the people. But the important geographical value and resource value at Central Asia make it become the target that many nations in the world, national groups and all kinds of political forces compete with each other to aim at. Under the leading of the dream of big country in the world, India, the spreading neighboring country, lose no time to establishment Central Asia strategy, and overcome the layer after layer difficulties to put it into practice step by step. With a strategy for a mutual trust mechanism between two countries having been not established completely, China, a close neighbor to India, particularly notices India's strategic step at Central Asia. Can't deny India carries out Central Asia strategy at the same time, China is still the role of its strategic rival, as a result, the carrying out of Central Asia strategy in India will certainly bring influence to China's politics, economy etc. Under the whole international background after Cold War, China is making the responding strategy matching the Chinese state of the nation, aiming at a series of acts that India does at Central Asia. This text will expound the above contents from four aspects.The first part: expound mainly the subjective and objective factors that India puts Central Asia strategy into practice. The objective aspect is the important change of the international situation after Cold War, and newly-independent Central Asian five countries become the hot regions that the world focuses on with the important geographic and economic value. As the close neighbor of Central Asia, India is particularly paying attention to the development situation of Central Asia. The subjective aspect is that India demands positive and effective cooperation with every country at Central Asia, by order of its dreams of big country, guaranteeing the stability of the politics and economy of the nation and region, attacking spreading of three badinfluences, further extending in the world.The second part: analyze specifically the contents and carrying out of the strategy of India Central Asia. The main motion of India entering the Central Asia is to support the national security and the energy safety. So the strategy of Indian Central Asia consists of three aspects primarily, the first is developing the economic cooperation with all countries of Central Asia continuously, particularly the cooperation of the energy field, laying the solid economic foundation for the big country position;the second is owing to the worrying safe situation at Central Asia, and the "three vicious influences" spreading quickly, India enhances the safety cooperation with all countries at Central Asia to maintain regional stability commonly;the third is handling with the benefit relationship at Central Asia with each big country outside the region, practicing the flexible diplomacy.The third part: expound the challenges that India meets when carrying out the Central Asia strategy. The first is that India and Central Asian regions do not connect directly, so the development of both parties' economic trade suffers from limitation;the second is that the safe situation at Central Asia and the regions on the periphery is rigorous, and India Central Asian strategy pushes forward slowly;the third is that many countries set foot in Central Asia, so India concerns many when carrying out Central Asia strategy.The fourth par: analyze the beneficial influence and disadvantageous influence that India carrying out Central Asia strategy brings China, and put forward to China's responding strategy. It has its contain rationality for India to push forward Central Asia strategy positively and expand the nation's existing space on the certain degree, it can't be denied that it brings China certain positive influence objectively, but the negative influence of carrying out of India Central Asia strategy is more serious. The Chinese government pays much attention to the development situation of Central Asian regions, strengthening the cooperation with Central Asian nations from different aspects of politics, economy and security etc. to weaken the disadvantageous influence that Indiacarrying out Central Asia strategy brings to China.Finally, in conclusion let's outlook the foreground of carrying out of India Central Asia strategy, and the competition degree and cooperation possibility at Central Asia between China and India over the coming several decades. Both China and India are developing countries, so they need to be stabilized, and concentrating their energy to develop the economy is a first-class important event. There is the clash of the strategy and also the coincident point of the benefit. As long as we can analyze and treat the benefit relationship between the two countries at with long-term view, we believe that it is necessary and feasible for China and India to establish a peaceful and stable Central Asia.
