10. Summary of thesis results:
Before 1991, Central Asia was known as a part of the Soviet Union with a lower level of development than other republics in the Union, located in the deep interior of the continent without access to the sea. Water is an extremely valuable resource in Central Asia, the cause of some international disputes, often vulnerable to external powers.
The US and China have important geopolitical, security and economic interests in Central Asia. The stability of the Central Asian region is also extremely important for China to realize its strategic goal of exploiting the Western region and ensuring the diversification of energy supplies. In addition, the US is considered a new external force with great influence on Central Asia. With the goal of maintaining its position as the number 1 superpower, Central Asia has become the key to implementing the US's ambitions in the Eurasian continent. Sino-US relations in Central Asia are a relationship of intertwined interests, both competitive and cooperative, and forming a balance of power in Central Asia. The US with its "Greater Central Asia" policy and China's "Westward Advance" policy have made the competition on the "big chessboard" of Central Asia more complicated and unpredictable.
Through various forms, measures and tools, the US and China have increasingly penetrated into the political, economic and security life of Central Asian countries. In addition to actively promoting bilateral and multilateral relations between Central Asian countries, these two powers themselves have not missed the opportunity to restrain each other to increase their influence and gain the greatest benefits for themselves. In order to reduce China's influence, the US has used multilateral measures, relying on NATO, OSCE... to increase its military presence in Central Asia, using the tricks of democracy and human rights, influencing the model transformation of Central Asian countries, preventing China through the SCO from implementing "joint management" of Central Asia. The US has also made good use of the "tricks" of strengthening bilateral relations with the Central Asian countries themselves to attract these countries to stand on the same side with the US.
The US-China relationship has gone through 40 years of ups and downs and is the most important bilateral relationship in the world today. In today's globalized and internationally integrated world, the US-China relationship not only develops within the framework of the two countries, but is also affected by other complex relationships in bilateral and multilateral structures in which both the US and China participate. The relationship between the two largest countries is also a factor that greatly affects the economic and political order of the contemporary world, in which every country and nation desires peace, cooperation, friendship, equality, democracy and progress. The process of bilateral cooperation between the US and China in Central Asia will be difficult and complicated. The fundamental reason is the contrast in traditional and non-traditional security conflicts. The resolution of this conflict is determined by the change of concepts, as well as by the mutual understanding between China and the US at a strategic level.

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
Central Asia before 1991 was known as a part of the Soviet Union with a lower level of development compared with other republics in the Union, located in inland areas which do not have the area directing to the ocean. Water resources are extremely valuable in Central Asia, are the cause of a number of international disputes as well as often injured by external powerful countries.
The US and China have the important benefits of geo - political, security, economic in Central Asia. The stable situation of Central Asia is also extremely important for China in conducting strategic objectives for the Western sector, ensuring diversification of operating energy supplies. Besides, the US is considered to be a new external force which has a major influence on Central Asia. With the goal of maintaining number one super powerful country, Central Asia became the key for the US in deploying ambitions in the Asian - European continent. Relationship between the US and China in Central Asia is the relationship interwoven interests, both competitive and cooperative and formed the balance of forces in Central Asia. US with policy of the "Great Central Asia", China advocated "Go West" which led the competition on the "great chessboard" Central Asia more complex and difficult to predict.
In various forms, methods, different tools, the US and China have penetrated deeply into the political life, economy and security of the Central Asian states. In addition to actively promoting bilateral and multilateral relations between the Central Asian states, the two powers do not miss the opportunity to restrain mutually to increase the influence and gain the biggest benefits for themselves. In order to decrease the impact of China, the US has used multilateral measures, relying on NATO, OSCE ... to strengthen military presence in Central Asia, using the guise of democracy and human rights, impact on reforming model transformation of the Central Asian states to prevent China through the SCO conducted "jointly managed" Central Asia. America also made good use of the "guise" of strengthening bilateral relations with the Central Asian countries to drag them to stand at the front line with the US.
US - China Relation has gone through 40 years of ups and downs and is the most important bilateral relationship in the world today. In the world of globalization and international integration, the US - China relationship not only progresses in the framework of the two countries, but also influenced by the complex relationships in the bilateral and multilateral structures that both the US and China participate. Relations between the two largest countries is also a factor strongly influenced on political and economic order of the contemporary world, where every nation, ethnic group has the desire for peace, cooperation and friendship, equality, democracy and improvement. Cooperation between two sides the US and China in Central Asia will be difficult and complex. The underlying cause is the contradiction of traditional security and non-traditional security. The conflict resolution is determined by the change of conception, has been decided by mutual understanding between China and the US in strategic height.
