Editor's Note: With the second China-Central Asia Summit to be held in Astana from June 16 to 18, First Voice presents a special opinion video series, "China and Central Asia: Crafting dawn amid tariff war." The opening episode spotlights the economic and trade relations between China and the Central Asian region.

Central Asia is now at the heart of China's resilient trade strategy. As global headwinds mount, China is strengthening its economic connections through the Belt and Road Initiative – and the numbers are speaking volumes. Yang Jin, deputy director of the Central Asia and Caucasus Research Office at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, emphasizes the "strong economic and trade complementarities" between China and Central Asia, which provide a solid basis for deepening cooperation and achieving mutual benefits.

Watch the video to see how the trade war has actually brought China and Central Asia closer, creating a vibrant new economic landscape together.
