A transcontinental country with the majority of its territory in Central Asia and a small portion in Europe, Kazakhstan is the world’s largest landlocked country, and the last former Soviet republic to declare independence after the dissolution of the USSR. With rich natural resources, Kazakhstan has the largest economy in Central Asia, and was assessed by the United Nations as being very high on the Human Development Index. With its proximity to China, it is an important country for developing the Belt and Road project. However, domestically, anti-China sentiment has been high in recent years, leading to many street protests regarding Chinese expansion and immigration.
