Uzbekistan targeted for takeover er… democracy
This will be interesting because the Chinese are rumored to be waiting in Kyrgyzstan which is next to Uzbekistan.
Kyrgyzstan is strategic in that it borders China and hosts both American and Russian bases.
Central Asia is full of rumors. They say that President of Kyrgyzstan Askar Akaev signed a secret deal with China, and now neither the US nor Russia can get him replaced for a man that they would want. And such attempts have already been made. It happened more than once. Both Washington and Moscow, for example, are insisting that the Kyrgyz President should not run at the elections for the fourth time.
Presumably, Beijing offered Akaev good protection in exchange for accepting 100,000 Chinese in Kyrgyzstan. China keeps its promises. Akaev keeps his promises too.
