But experts say the line linking China with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan could be a way to evade sanctions on Russia
China is building a $4.7bn , 325-mile railway linking three major countries that is expected to shorten the route to EuropeHowever, experts say it could also be a way for Beijing to evade Western sanctions on trade with Russia.
Mr Webster, who advises on trade projects, said he believed China was scared of angering Western powers by supplying Russia with the vital goods and services Mosco needs to keep its war effort going.“Both Russia and China are looking towards Kyrgyzstan as a useful instrument to trade with each other, without angering the West in the process,” he added.
Mohan Sodhi, a professor of supply chain and statistics at Bayes Business School in London, believes the railway project demonstrates that many developing economies are “scared” of further sanctions from Western countries. “Many developing countries may now see investing in trade links with each other as a safer bet than an unpredictable West.”
