Note

you have a mechanic alex au?? ? where can we read iiiit 🧎🏻‍♀️

(Anon 2 from the Wip Ask Game)

i was in tumblr jail but now im FREEEE (barely)

First of all, i’m so sorry for the late response orz orz orz

actually this AU just exists in my docs in a kinda of timeline and in my head (and in my friend DMs in a 3min voice note who was ignored. so i dont think it was really interesant after all jajaja /dies) but if u want some thoughts (?

So I knew that at first Alex M wanted to be his brother's mechanic, I knew that it was Marc who convinced him to get on a bike and race with him and all that, but recently I had this idea of "What would have happened if Alex really would have become Marc's mechanic, but during Marc's debacle he stay at Honda and wouldn't have been able to follow him to Gresini?"

.🙂

It was a little mental exercise. Alex encourages Marc to go to Gresini because he hates seeing his brother break himself over and over again AND MAYBE HE FEELS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MOTORCYCLE HURTING HIM SO MUCH WHO KNOWS. Alex always wants the best for Marc, even if it's not at Honda.

The only thing that didn't convince me at all was Alex's age (because I love bending reality for the RPF, but I have a lot more fun creating scenarios that are more or less plausible in my head lol) until…

I remembered that I had read THIS article by Santi and then I did the maths (lol): born in 1975. Professional at 17 in '92. In the world championship in '96 at 21.

In '99 he won with crivillé at 24. In 2003 with Vale in Honda as a 28 years old. It becomes confusing what he does between 2005-2010 because I don't want to do research, but he becomes part of some rider teams in 125cc apparently? -

He becomes in Marc's chief mechanic in 2011 at the age of 36 and moving up to MotoGP at the age of 38 in 2013.

So Alex's path would be to reach the paddock in 2015 at 19 years old and with a dream uwu

So the TIMELINE is a bit like this:

Alex is a mechanic. He had competed in CEV and everything, but despite this he decided not to make the step up to Moto3 when he got the opportunity to do so after his wild cards in ¿2012¿

In any case, he trained professionally as a mechanic and contact here contact there reached the motorcycle world championship.

He works in Moto2 with Marc VDS for a long time (from 2015 to 2019 maybe) when Honda steals him at the starting of the 2020 season because the previous mechanic there expressed his desire to retire FOR REASONS NOT CONCENTRATIVE TO THE PLOT so Alex can replace the guy.

2020 :)

MiserY

Alex go to LCR because Marc's team was out of work for the rest of the season adapting everything for Stefan :), plus there is a vacance (that is a word in english?) to fill in the LCR because of COVID and Alex has the skills for it and yada yada

At least the honda mechanic said he is going to retire, not WHEN.

The 2020 season is- fucked. Alex is trying to be a kind brother.

He gets so tired with the press coming to the garage and asking about his brother every week that he takes refuge inside the box. The cameras struggle to find him during the moments before the race.

His move up to Honda is delayed because the LCR team is keeping him because he works well with them.

2021-2022 seasons happen :). He is retained by LCR, he is getting tired of presenting his transfer, but at least he has become familiar with the HR people (I am 100% sure that is not how these workers work, I don't care).

2023 :3

Finally. he can go to Honda! Finally he is on his brother's team! HE CAN FINALLY FULFILL HIS- childhood dream? promise? life goal? idk

Alex looks at Marc's data - which he always had access to as a meddling younger brother, but which he now works on every week - and wants to cry. That bike is not supposed to be able to do what Marc achieves with it.

When Marc falls in Portimao and takes Miguel with him, he looks longingly at the LCR box and asks himself why he wanted this job. Maybe Rins wouldn't be giving him such a headache.

Marc is signed by Gresini, which leaves Honda to search for a rider and Alex to deal with whoever they are going to sign, because he stay at the team and will definitely deal with the new rider

Nov 12 - Alex hears the Marini to Honda rumor and thinks “ha, it definitely won't happen”

November - Luca Marini, brother of Valentino Rossi, is signed by Honda

LUCA MARINI

ROSSI'S BROTHER

Alex is a professional and as soon as he hears about it, he turns around and asks for a transfer to Mir's team.

(not Zarco or Nakagami because he already went through LCR and he won't go back there even if they point a gun at him, thank you very much) (he might consider it if they paid better-)

He prefers to avoid from the beginning any type of rumor that says he is doing anything, like tampering ¿? with Marini's bike or something like that.

“Smart boy” he says to himself in the mirror :)

Nov 27 - It is announced that Mir's previous team will now be with Luca and that Santi will go with Joan

Alex wants to diee, BUT HE'S A PROFESSIONAL, so he doesn't say anything.

Luca's engineer makes fun of him a little, he thinks Alex is funny.

He could go back to Santi, but (IN THIS AU, IN MY MENTAL PALACE) he doesn't try because he has this thing that all the Marquez's besides him missed: a general feeling of shame.

They know who the other is, Alex used to be Franky's mechanic in Moto2, so both know a few of stories about each other

Although they have not bonded over the mortifying experience of being younger brothers of (divorced) legends, but they have greeted each other around the paddock and been cordial over the years.

but the paddok is inmense so not that much

The Valencia tests happen and Luca is optimistic and gives a real feedback of how the bike feels and where he hopes to take it, rather than just vague unintelligible and weird noises that don't communicate anything.

Alex already feels like a huge improvement since Cal (his jokes weren't really helpful for data collection) and Rins (whom he appreciates for all the time they've known each other, both as CEV teammates and as his mechanic, but- yeah rins barely starts races during 2023 sooo )

[To be defined] [Future Lucalex] [Maybe past Franky/Alex lol]

I'd like to submit a piece of writing or SOMETHING but I only have short, silly little snippets and they're not really worth it.

David Bier for The UnPopulist:

In a free society, markets incentivize people to contribute to the welfare of others through their work, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Thanks to freedom, America isn’t a fixed pie—it’s a growing pie. It is exactly for these reasons that so many people from around the world come to the United States, and it is exactly for those same reasons that we should let them come legally.

Immigrants Can Save America from Demographic Decline

The United States desperately needs more workers. Currently, the U.S. population is growing slower than at any point in its history. From 2020 to 2023, international migration was responsible for 73% of the meager 1% population growth during those three years. Without immigration, the U.S. population will start to decline by the 2030s. Already, about 40% of the counties in the United States saw declining populations in 2023. People are necessary to maintain buildings, roads, schools, hospitals, and businesses because population decline erodes property values and forces business and school closures. This population death spiral has afflicted both urban and rural counties. In fact, over the last decade, rural America lost population for the first time in U.S. history. By 2030, population aging or decline will reduce tax revenue per capita in nearly every state. The country has already seen how population decline will manifest in the future. Major cities saw significant out-migration in the 1960s and 1970s before they stabilized and rebounded in the 1990s and 2000s, in major part thanks to new immigrants. The out-migration led to housing vacancies and job losses, which contributed to increased crime, and the subsequent in-migration went hand in hand with lower crime and more business creation.

Immigrants Can Save America from Labor Force Decline

Along with slower population growth, labor force growth in the United States has also declined for decades, falling by 65% from the levels observed in the 1960s—a period when the immigrant share of the U.S. population bottomed out—to the most recent decade. This decline in labor force growth was even more pronounced among individuals without a college degree. These declines happened despite immigration. From 1995 to 2022, immigrants and their children accounted for 70% of labor force growth. There are jobs available for immigrants to fill. Currently, U.S. nonfarm employers have about 8.5 million open jobs. Every single month after January 2021 had more job openings than any month before it, back to the start of the job openings data series in the year 2000. Filling these open jobs could have increased U.S. Gross Domestic Product by over $2.5 trillion. Going forward, these unfilled job openings will cost the U.S. economy over half a trillion dollars per year. These jobs will not be filled without immigrants, as the U.S. prime-age employment rate is at a near-record high. With more Americans retiring than entering the labor force, immigrants have accounted for 100% of U.S. labor force growth since December 2019. Without immigrants, the working-age population will fall by about 6 million over the next two decades. We should not be concerned that immigrants will arrive and choose not to work, either. Immigrants will work if the government allows them to. Despite numerous legal obstacles to finding jobs in the United States, immigrants are more likely to work than U.S.-born workers overall and at every education level—a difference that grows significantly among the least skilled. Immigrant adults without high school degrees are about 20 percentage points more likely to work than comparable U.S.-born adults. Furthermore, nearly 97% of immigrants who looked for jobs in 2022 found them.

[...]

Immigration Can Help Prolong the Life of Social Security

Since the 1960s, the ratio of workers to retirees has plummeted, and the Social Security Trustees now estimate that Social Security will be short nearly 35 million workers to fund the system in the 2030s. It will have to cut benefits by at least 23% in 2034, if not earlier, or raise taxes to cover the shortfall. The situation will not improve in the future, with benefit cuts reaching 30% and the shortfall in workers hitting 80 million by 2080. According to the Social Security Administration Trustees 2022 report, increasing net immigration from 829,000 to nearly 1.7 million per year would reduce the annual burden of Social Security in 2097 by 1.5% of taxable payroll (the equivalent of $137 billion in 2022). This immigration range is based on what Social Security Trustees think might be possible given the current law, but 1.7 million immigrants per year are not significant as a percentage of the U.S. population compared to the level of immigration in many other countries. If immigrants, their children, and their grandchildren added the necessary 80 million additional workers by 2080, the savings would amount to $455 billion per year in 2080.

[...]

America’s Ill-Conceived Immigration System

The United States is benefiting from immigration despite its outdated and dysfunctional immigration system. Congress has not updated this system in over three decades. The main permanent immigration options available for immigrants abroad are:

The Refugee Program: The global population of displaced people reached 114 million in 2023, and the United States accepted barely 60,000 through its refugee program—a mere 0.05%.

Family‐Sponsored Immigration: The capped family‐sponsored system currently has a backlog of over 8.3 million, and alarmingly, 1.6 million of these applicants currently waiting will likely be dead before they can receive a green card.

Employer‐Sponsored Immigration: Annually capped at just 140,000 green cards, this category currently has a backlog of over 1.8 million. The country‐based caps mean that wait times for Indian workers with a master’s degree will be longer than the average person’s lifespan. Employer-sponsored green cards are close to impossible to obtain for those without very high wage offers and a work visa, and the main work visa—the H1B—is capped at 25% of demand. For those coming temporarily, the H2B seasonal worker program for nonagricultural jobs is the only path for most U.S. seasonal low‐skilled jobs, and it has an annual cap of 66,000. Although Congress temporarily doubled this cap this year, that level was only about half the level required to meet the number of positions requested.

The Diversity Lottery: The diversity green card lottery is available to immigrants only if they are not from legal immigrants’ main origin countries and have a high-school degree or experience in a skilled job, and it offers entrants just a 0.2% chance of receiving a green card.

In 2023, about 34 million people entered a legal process to try to obtain a green card, yet barely more than 1 million will succeed and receive legal permanent residence—just 3% of applicants.

David Bier wrote in The UnPopulist that America will be in great harm if it doesn’t permit more legal immigration.

Belgium's expert council on employment has called for the incoming government to clamp down on unlimited unemployment benefits, as the State grapples with one of the lowest employment rates in the EU combined with acute labour shortages.

The latest annual report on the labour market, published by the High Council on Employment this week, highlights that Belgium's employment rate (72.1% in 2023) lags behind the European average of 75.3%.

The report also notes that in terms of the share of unemployed people who have been out of work for more than a year (the "long term unemployed"), Belgium is also an outlier. EU labour force survey figures from 2022 show that 42.1% of unemployed people in Belgium are long-term unemployed, compared to 33.6% in Germany, 30.6% in Luxembourg, 29.5% in France, and just 18% in the Netherlands.

The Belgian employment expert council highlights a "glaring" disparity in the number of people working in the State's different regions, with Flanders consistently performing better than Wallonia and Brussels.

At 76.8%, the employment rate in Flanders is more than 10 percentage points higher than in the other two regions, and in 2023 the unemployment rate was 3.3% in Flanders, compared with 8.2% in Wallonia and 10.7% in Brussels.

Low employment but lots of vacancies

Alongside a relatively low employment rate, Belgium is also experiencing labour shortages with recruitment difficulties most marked in Flanders.

Nationally the job vacancy rate remains high, at 4.4% in the first quarter of 2024 (equating to about 185,000 open positions). In Flanders, the vacancy rate stood at 4.8% in the first quarter of the year, compared to 4% in Brussels and 3.6% in Wallonia.

The high number of unfilled positions could be explained by generally low participation in the labour market. But council experts note that Belgium's working population is also ageing, and a growing proportion of workers are nearing retirement (or early retirement) age.

The report also notes that employers are struggling to hire due to mismatches between the skills required and candidate profiles. To compound the challenge, relatively few unemployed people in Belgium cross the language border to find work (despite the efforts of regional public employment services).

Belgian labour market resilient through crises

Council experts say that Belgium's labour market has been "resilient" through crises like the pandemic and spiralling inflation, as net job creation reached "unprecedented levels" amounting to 100,000 new roles created across 2021 and 2022. In 2023, net job creation across the country returned to the historic average of around 43,000.

However, despite robust growth, low labour market participation remains Belgium's "main weakness". The report adds that it is "imperative" for Belgium to raise its employment rate if the economy is to proposer and help meet the costs of the country's ageing population.

Belgium's Federal Committee on Ageing has recently flagged that costs associated with the country's ageing population (such as increased spending on pensions and healthcare) are set to be "particularly high" between now and 2050.

As participation rates are particularly low among "vulnerable groups" (people with few qualifications, those of non-European origin, the youngest aged under 25 and the oldest aged 60 and over), the employment council notes that integrating these groups into the labour market remains a "major challenge" for the Belgian economy and regional labour markets.

Tackling 'unlimited' unemployment benefits

Of the many recommendations in the report, the council of experts suggests that the incoming government could "improve" the duration of Belgium's unemployment benefits so that people who are not (or are no longer) looking for work "should not be dependent on it".

As noted by an OECD report in 2020, the Belgian unemployment benefits system has "become the subject of an intense policy debate in recent years". While it provides good protection against income losses during joblessness, it has "raised concerns about its ability to maintain strong work incentives during unemployment".

Furthermore, Belgium is the only OECD country to offer income supports for unemployed people with no time limit and means testing after a certain period. Those who become unemployed in Belgium are at first entitled to 65% of their previous income, currently subject to an upper ceiling of €3,365.16 per month.

As time goes on, unemployment benefits gradually reduce and decouple from previous earnings; after four years recipients of unemployment are put on one of three minimum flat rates, depending on their family status. Belgium's National Employment Office makes daily allowance payments six days per week (with no payments on Sundays).

The flat rates are subject to change through automatic indexation but are currently: €66.89 per day for cohabitants with family responsibilities, €54.21 per day for single people, and €28.13 per day for cohabitants without family responsibilities.

There is no defined end date to unemployment benefits in Belgium, contrasting with neighbours France (maximum of 18 to 27 months depending on age), Germany (offered for 12 months at most or up to 24 months for older people), The Netherlands (maximum duration of 24 months) and Luxembourg (only available for up to 365 days in a 24 month period).

The High Council on Employment noted that the Belgian unemployment system is an insurance scheme to guarantee an income for jobseekers, "not an assistance scheme". However, it also warned that any reform to the duration of unemployment benefits "could under no circumstances lead to an increase in the risk of poverty for those affected".

Other recommendations

The council also said that employment traps should be closed. These disincentivise people to take up paid work when the social welfare supports outweigh the income they would earn.

The report also pointed out the potential impacts of wage indexation on employment in Belgium. It highlighted that as companies are obliged to pay higher wages in times of inflation, they are more likely to try and cut down their total number of staff by finding less labour-intensive means of operating, or may be discouraged from investing in Belgium altogether.

The council said this underlines the "importance of sectoral negotiations" on the topics of pay, working time and working conditions, but added that the existence of a uniform national wage standard limits the scope of negotiations.

Soooo, I’m in this phase of my life now. I am thinking of starting my own business?

For those of you wondering, I’ve completely changed my life ever since my father passed away in 2021.

I’ve studied Educational Sciences ever since 2019. However when my father passed away I learnt a valuable lesson:

Enjoy life, never give up on the things you love and want to achieve. It might seem impossible, but if it’s impossible, it wouldn’t cross your mind. Do what you love and it will make you enjoy life so much more!

It’s something I’ve lived by most of the days, and I’ve started with nothing. Started from scratch, at least that’s what it felt like. My father passed away, I took a break from school, and it was like my whole world collapsed. I had no father, no job, no school, barely anything.

That’s when I discovered my passion for motorsport and in particular F1, but also my passion for Social Media. I’ve started this account and right now I’m so close to 1900 followers, something I could have never ever dreamt of, so thank you!

It’s getting quite long, but I guess I just need to let my heart speak for a moment.

That passion for Formula One started, and I kind of entered to work at the Dutch GP in 2022. I got cold feet so I cancelled, but somehow I still got accepted. I’m calling it faith. So I went and worked at the Dutch GP behind the food bars. I got a picture with my favourite driver!

Then, I saw a vacancy for Max Verstappen’s store here in my neighbourhood, so I applied. The next day I got a phone call and the day after that I was hired as an employee at his store.

Now, almost a year later, I’ve been to the Belgian GP and worked at the Dutch GP in both 2022 and 2023. I’m one of the first employees, meaning I have a bit more responsibility, and I’m even having contacts with people that are part of Max’ and Verstappen’s social media team. My two worlds collide!

For the social media part, I’m nearly finished with my Educational Sciences degree, but I’m also gaining knowledge by doing social media marketing courses. I’m also working as a social media advertising specialist, all with 0 educational social media experience or knowledge. I’m working my way up there, and I’m never giving up.

It wasn’t all a pathway of stairs going up, there were definitely some downfalls, but again, I never gave up, even if at times I was close to saying ‘forget it’ or ‘nevermind. I won’t make it anyways’.

Why am I sharing this? Probably to keep myself motivated, but also because I want people to know they should never give up on something you really want. I kept reading these inspiring stories of people that never gave up and I thought to myself that I’d never be that person, but here I am.

NEVER GIVE UP ❤️

#f1 #formula 1 #formula one #never give up #inspirational #inspiration

Ma valeur n’est ni marchande ni raciale

Aujourd’hui, pour mériter il faut… être beau avoir un travail bien payé être propriétaire de son logement avoir beaucoup de vêtements neufs avoir une énorme voiture avoir des enfants doués savoir cuisiner des plats à la mode avec beaucoup d’accessoires avoir le dernier iPhone aller chez l’esthéticienne faire de la musculation faire de la chirurgie esthétique partir en vacances à l’étranger faire des selfies être blanc avoir des followers faire de longues études avoir refait ses dents savoir utiliser l’informatique être maigre acheter toujours moins cher

Ce sont des choses qu’on nous impose et qui poussent certains à penser qu’ils sont des ratés. La population pense qu’elle est insuffisante, qu’elle n’est pas assez bien. Le suicide chez les jeunes ont explosé. La consommation de drogue a explosé. Le travail proche de l’esclavage a augmenté pour permettre des prix encore plus bas. L’environnement est abîmé. Le climat est détruit.

On peut avoir de la valeur sans se plier à ces contraintes. S’occuper des plus faibles Eduquer pour rendre le monde meilleur Améliorer les liens sociaux Faire de l’art Etre serviable Etre gentil Limiter la pollution Faire des gestes écologiques Intégrer les autres y compris les gens différents ou handicapés Favoriser l’entraide Acheter bio et équitable Contempler le monde

Ce sont les esclaves qui ont une valeur, un prix. Il n’y a pas des gens qui ont plus de valeur que d’autres. Les néolibéraux et les extrême-droite veulent utiliser la valeur pour diviser les humains. C’est la porte ouverte à toutes les discriminations.

La solidarité, c’est pour tout le monde. Le droit est le même pour tous. Nous sommes égaux. On n’est pas pareils mais on a la même valeur.

Central Asian countries have always made a strong play for being the master of their own destinies. Policymakers in the region tout their ability to sit in the driver’s seat and navigate international relations through balancing everyone against each other. Yet last month’s high-level engagements with China and Russia have instead served to highlight Central Asia countries’ growing bonds with both powers and the shrinking room for maneuver they have in international relations.

A number of assumptions about the war in Ukraine have not played out as initially expected. Early on, it was assumed by some of the international financial institutions (such as the World Bank) that Central Asia would suffer from the invasion. Its intimate connection to Russia via the Eurasian Economic Union (of which Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan are both members) and the fact that so many of its economic, social, and security ties are to Russia meant that many observers expected the region to encounter economic difficulties.

Questions were also raised about security relations. Traditionally, Moscow has been seen as the major external security provider to the region. In the run-up to the collapse of Kabul, it was Russia that rushed arms sales through, as well as undertook joint border training exercises. Similarly, when Kazakhstan was wracked with a violent internal power struggle in early 2022, it was Moscow that the government looked to, requesting a Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization operation to help provide security around key locations. The invasion of Ukraine seemed to presage greater Russian truculence in its immediate neighborhood.

Yet neither economic nor security doom has actually materialized. Money flows from Russia into the region have increased. More companies are moving to the region, as foreign and Russian entities and men seeking to escape the Kremlin’s mobilization drive and find an accommodating environment in Central Asia. The Russian government has also leaned heavily into its relationship with the region, with Russian President Vladimir Putin visiting all five countries and sending numerous high-level delegations to seek business links and opportunities. New schools, equipment, aid, and general rhetorical support have also flowed from Moscow.

The logic from Moscow’s perspective is multifaceted—Central Asia was perceived to be slipping out of the Russian orbit, something that preceded the invasion of Ukraine but had sharpened since February 2022. Russia is in some ways less concerned about Chinese inroads—something it has at this point rationalized as an inescapable reality—than about the region striking a more autonomous path away from Russia. It is also worth noting that Central Asia has served as a useful conduit for sanctions evasion for Moscow in the past.

Going the other way, the flow of Central Asians going to Russia has also increased. Already a well-trodden path, more Central Asians chose to go and work in Russia in the past year rather than less. Even usually Turkey-bound Turkmen are being drawn to the opportunities in Russia, with the Russian migration service recording 1,600 Turkmen seeking work permits in Russia in 2022, up from fewer than 20 in 2021—according to data we saw on a recent trip to Turkmenistan.

There has been a flow of Russians toward Central Asia as people flee the Kremlin’s policies, but this is balanced out in net migration flows by the volume of Central Asians who still see Russia as a lucrative place to work. No doubt the carnage on the battlefield in Ukraine has created lots of job vacancies.

This human connection has also tied itself to the war in Ukraine in a contradictory way. While fewer Central Asians have sought Russian citizenship according to official data, some residents of the region have chosen to align themselves with Moscow and several elected to fight on Russia’s side in Ukraine. Some are former convicts fighting alongside the paramilitary Wagner Group (at least 10 Tajiks are reported to have died doing so), while others may be joining out of a sense of patriotism toward Moscow.

In Kazakhstan’s north, the majority ethnic-Russian community has looked with scorn on the large numbers of Russians moving to Kazakhstan to flee the draft back home. Some are believed to have gone further and chosen to go and fight in Ukraine. And the region is increasingly being seen as a major conduit for trade to Russia as Moscow seeks to evade sanctions.

All this serves to explain the sometimes contradictory views from Central Asia about Russia and Ukraine. At a general public and official level, there is a clear expression of dislike toward the war (Kazakhstan’s president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, and Tajikistan’s president, Emomali Rahmon, have made direct statements to Putin in public formats), but when looking at countries’ actions, support has been evident. The appearance of all five Central Asian leaders in Moscow for this year’s Victory Day parade was a clear expression of this.

The Central Asian countries have also sought to cultivate China as an alternative ally. This was most clearly on display in Xian, China, on May 18-19, when all five leaders met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at an event that sought to increase Chinese-Central Asian engagement.

Billion of dollars worth of new deals and trade agreements were announced during the summit and the bilateral engagements that took place on its fringes. And there was even some discussion of China starting to offer itself as a regional security provider. While this is not new—Beijing has long been a player in Central Asian security questions both through direct engagement as well as through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization—the announcements this time had a particular tone given the current conflict in Ukraine.

The invasion of Ukraine has thrown Beijing’s role in Central Asia newly into question, both in terms of Moscow’s bandwidth to play a security provider role in the region while Ukraine consumes its military, and fears about how Moscow’s revanchist eye might turn toward the region.

In Kazakhstan, this fear is acute given the ease with which one can look at the country through Moscow’s eyes and see a very similar history that could justify an incursion as Putin did in Ukraine. The nation shares a long border with Russia and has a large ethnically Russian population that often feels targeted by national policies seeking to advance the Kazakh language. Senior Russian figures (including Putin) have questioned the nation’s statehood. Back in September 2014, after he first pushed an incursion into Ukraine, Putin seemed to deny Kazakh statehood in a speech, saying that then-President Nursultan Nazarbayev had “created a state on a territory that never had a state.”

Consequently, when Xi visited Kazakhstan in September 2022, a lot of public noise was made about his declaration that China would support “Kazakhstan in safeguarding national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.” Among more optimistic public commentators, this was seen as a clear message to defend Kazakhstan against potential Russian aggression.

In contrast, speaking to officials in Kazakhstan and the wider region, we found a far more sanguine picture. Most of them noted the similarity in what Xi said in Kazakhstan to what China had said about Ukraine before the Russian invasion (and even in the peace plan proposed by China), and China’s lack of action in stopping the conflict there. “We are on our own” was one particularly stark assessment we heard in Kazakhstan.

It is also not clear that China would step in to try to fix any of the regional problems that are on display. Beijing has maintained a high level of engagement with the Taliban, but this has remained narrowly focused on Chinese security concerns around Uyghur militants using Afghanistan as a base to foment trouble in China rather than an effort to stabilize the country.

All this highlights one of the toughest challenges facing Central Asia. The past year has found all five countries strengthening their links to both China and Russia. The ties to Beijing are an effort to balance against Moscow, but the reality is that this balancing act is not going to work very well given how close Russia and China are these days.

Buried toward the bottom of the joint statement that was put out after Xi and Putin met in Moscow earlier this year was a declaration: “The two sides are willing to strengthen cooperation, support Central Asian countries in safeguarding their national sovereignty, guarantee national development, and oppose external forces’ promotion of ‘color revolutions’ and interference in regional affairs.”

This highlights both the fact that China and Russia are eager to coordinate in Central Asia and that their basic aims in the region are the same. This complicates diplomacy for the Central Asian governments that have long sought to play the two countries off each other. And it is a perfect articulation of the shrinking geopolitical space that Central Asia increasingly finds itself within.

Entirely surrounded by powers in some level of conflict with the West, Central Asia finds its options are increasingly limited. This is not to say other options are not available—simultaneous to the Xian summit, Kazakhstan hosted a high-level economic forum with the European Union; the United States is a constant presence; and Turkey has made a great deal of noise about Turkic influence in the region over the past year via the Organization of Turkic States. But as the ties that bind China and Russia thicken, Central Asia will struggle to really balance against them.
