Abstract: It is clear by the history that China and Uzbekistan had close relations
thanks to the Silk Road which linked these countries even at that time with economic
relations. While having bilateral relations, from the history , Sun Szu 1 , in his book ,
The art of war, wrote a lot about Chinese type of thinking of realistic point-views.
Furthermore, the recent initiatives and strategies of both countries shows the elements
of realism when both of the countries are of paramount importance in terms of regional
and global geopolitical scheme as one of them is located in Central Asia and the other
one is in the Far East which is strategically, economically and politically vital when it

also to expand and gain power over other countries with its soft power techniques.

countries and the role of national interests and power dynamics.
