This article presents material on the current state of political and economic development between Russia, China, and the Central Asian states. The author analyzes the significance of the Chinese government's Belt and Road Initiative, which is of paramount importance for the economy of the entire country. For China, this initiative plays a key role: 1) it stimulates regional development; 2) it forms production supply chains for product circulation; 3) it implements a "dual circulation" strategy; 4) it is significant for infrastructure development; 5) it stimulates trade and logistics for the country's trade flows. This scientific publication examines China's dominant position in the "green" value chain, in rare earth metal processing and equipment manufacturing. The main types of trade in China are cross-border e-commerce and digital commerce. The article emphasizes China's active cooperation with foreign countries, including Russia, the United States, the EU, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which has a positive impact on the country's economy. The author proposes measures to improve China's "green transition" by diversifying its raw material sources, reducing dependence on domestic deposits and imports from other regions (foreign countries).
