Does US aim at muscling out Russia and China from Central Asia?
Apparently not content with fomenting conflicts and dissent in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, America is also hard at work trying to spread its influence across Central Asia and combating the perceived Russia and China.
The US is “engaged in an important struggle” in Central Asia against Russia and China, US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Donald Lu said in his testimony to the House Foreign Affairs Committee last week.
Lu said the Biden administration seeks some $220.7 million for the diplomatic operations in Central Asia, as USAID Deputy Assistant Administrator for Asia Anjali Kaur claimed the funding for the next year will allow the US to act as a “reliable alternative” in the region in question to Russia and China.
Kaur also boasted that USAID allegedly managed to reduce the consumption of Russian media content in Central Asia by up to 10%.
Earlier this month, acting Special Coordinator for the Partnership on Global Infrastructure Investment at the US State Department Helaina Matza revealed G7 countries are willing to invest up to $200 billion in infrastructure projects in Central Asia.
Meanwhile, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said in May that Moscow is aware of the attempts by the US and its European allies to establish control over Central Asia’s resources and over the “transport arteries” that run across the region.

Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic shows off his cross amid Paris' Opening Ceremony controversy
Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic made a statement during his first match at the Paris Olympics by prominently displaying a cross. This act came in the wake of the controversy surrounding the event's opening ceremony, which faced backlash for portraying Jesus' Last Supper and other debauchery.
Notably, Djokovic's refusal to receive the Covid vaccine, a choice that resulted in substantial financial losses, has also been a point of discussion. "Before I am an athlete, I am an Orthodox Christian," Djokovic said.
