- With Central Asia rising, John Lee’s visit was well timed
John Lee's visit to Central Asia was well-timed as the region's strategic importance, highlighted in the 2022 book 'Sinostan' by Raffaello Pantucci and Alexandros Petersen, underscores its role in China's Belt and Road Initiative. The book describes Central Asia as China's 'inadvertent empire,' referencing Halford Mackinder's 1904 geopolitical theories.
