During the speech delivered by Mr. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela at launch of Mindset Network on July 16, 2003 he said: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. The simple example is a primary school, where children get their first knowledge. It is important for them to understand the easiest things and then the information that they will get and learn will become harder and harder. These children are the future leaders, scientists and doctors, those who will change the world, who will lead to the survival of human kind, or on the contrary they are those people, who will destroy everything in the future. Even nowadays the globe faces up the huge problems such as an environmental pollution because of Fukushima Daiichi and Chernobyl nuclear disasters, which are man-made catastrophes. But educated people also find the solution to the problems which are caused by them. Knowledge can affect people in two different ways. It depends on humans themselves whether they will choose survival or under the pressure of huge opportunities such as ruling the whole globe their actions will lead to destruction of the mankind. Although educated people could be blamed for the majority of catastrophes in the world, knowledge and understanding of the global problems the world faces can lead to the development of human kind.
One of the main reasons for saying this is that education will save the world from wars because understanding the causes of conflicts can put an end to them. There is a number of reasons which contribute to it. The human history has always consisted of wars and conflicts between people, in the ancient times conflicts between people were caused because of the territory, now the main reason is the lack of world resources. According to Dr. Susmit Kumar (2012): “The main motive behind World War I and World War II was the desire of

Using its huge potential in the hydrocarbon industry, Kazakhstan has managed to rise above all other Central Asian states in terms of political and economic importance and has turned its eyes to China as an important and powerful partner for cooperation in the economic, political, and security spheres.

It must be noted that over the years from 1992 to 2007, the highest trading volumes were between China and Kazakhstan, which represented from 80 to 86 percent of all Chinese-Central Asian trade. This growing economic cooperation has a social impact on the development of a Central Asian business diaspora based in Xinjiang. China also demonstrates its capacity to use local corruption schemes and internal Central Asian weaknesses in its own interests: From the earliest years of independence, smuggling with China, especially the export of metals and the import of consumer goods, has proved to be a very profitable venture for Central Asian high-level officials. Keywords • China-Central Asia Trade • Xinjiang • Business Diaspora • Shuttle Trade • Corruption Introduction The main difficulty in the study of economic relationships between China and Central Asia is the lack of reliable or complete information. Many reasons can explain this fact. The Central Asian states, first of all, do not publish information...
