The article endeavours to review the materials of the analytical centers of Türkiye for the study of the Central Asian vector of China’s policy in the region. Despite the periods of bilateral ‘thaw’ and ‘chill’ between Türkiye and China, as well as ideologically loaded foreign policy rhetoric, Turkish experts have generally adopted a fairly consistent and objective approach when analyzing the geopolitical and economic stance of the People’s Republic of China in Central Asia. Among all the analytical centers examined in this paper, the materials of INSAMER, ANKASAM, AVIM and SETA deserve special attention. Speaking about the works as a whole, we should note that the presented in the reviewed materials assessments of the described events and trends concerning China’s policy in Central Asia are rather general and similar in nature.
