Chinas growing involvement in Central Asia economically, culturally, politically and even militarily has been a contentious topic for people from the region. While some view Chinas involvement as offering Central Asian countries an opportunity for advancement, others view it in more negative ways, with China having tremendous influence in the affairs of their country. In this article, we present our findings from a survey that we conducted at the American University of Central Asia in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Our questions elicited responses that focus on perceptions of trade with China and Chinas actions regarding COVID-19, which are both polarizing issues in Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia overall.
