Xi met Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and attended a second regional leaders’ gathering to deepen economic and security ties. With vast uranium, oil, and rare earth reserves on the line, China is “future-proofing” its supply chains against Western pressures. Russia’s traditional influence is waning as China outpaces Moscow in bilateral trade and investment. Watch as Eastern Express breaks down what the Astana summit means for global power balances.
