CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
2. Driving Safety
How safe are our roads?
Driving injuries-on or off the job
Unsafe acts behind the wheel
Driving under the influence
“Road rage”
Unsafe conditions
Vehicle safety features
Did you know?
3. How safe are our roads?
1995 data for the U.S.
– 43,900 deaths
– 5 deaths and 260 disabling injuries per hour
– The # of deaths & # deaths/mile jumps in June, and
peaks in August.
– Friday (especially evening/night hours) has more fatal
accidents than any other day
What about Arizona?
– Arizona had the 2nd worst fatality record in the nation
(deaths/miles driven), second to Mississippi.
4. Driving injuries - on or off the job
The most hazardous environment
– For most of us, whether on or off the job, it is on the road.
– We face it daily.
A recent report from another AlliedSignal site:
– A manager was beginning a business trip
– Was driving from his house to the airport on the freeway
– Was shaving and looking into the rearview mirror
– Saw (in peripheral vision) something cut in front of him
– Reacted by steering to the right, driving off the freeway and
hitting a tree
– Result was a broken hip
5. Unsafe acts behind the wheel
Shaving
Putting on make-up
Reading a map
Reaching behind you to
spank kids
Not using a seatbelt
Driving under the
influence
Driving at an unsafe speed
Failing to stop or yield
Unsafe passing of another
vehicle
Tailgating
Not using blinkers
Others?
*Though perhaps in a different category, eating when
driving and using cell phones can compromise your
response time by distracting you and by removing one
hand from the steering wheel.
6. Driving under the influence (DUI)
Alcohol was involved in 41% of all traffic fatalities in
‘94
Sobering facts:
– About 2 in every 5 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-
related traffic accident at some time in their lives
– Remember the one-one rule: one drink per hour (Your body
takes about an hour to rid itself of each 1/2 ounce of alcohol)
Progress in this arena:
– A social stigma has been building against drinking & driving
– Many social drinkers are being more responsible
7. “Road rage”
Road rage is driving under the influence of too
much anger.
Provoked by:
– Feeling endangered by someone else’s driving (another
driver cuts you off or tailgates you).
– Resentment at being forced to slow down
– Righteous indignation at someone who breaks traffic
rules
– Anger at someone taking out their road rage on you
Therapy for road rage:
– Take a deep breath and just let it go!
8. Unsafe conditions
Poor visibility
– Night time driving (Fatality
rates/mile are 4 times higher
at night.)
– Dust storms
– Rain storms
– Windshield wipers not
effective
Poor road conditions
– Slippery surfaces from
weather
– Road not properly
maintained
Improper vehicle
maintenance
– Inadequate brakes
– Worn tread on tires
– Hoses, belts
– Inadequate acceleration
– Headlight(s) out
Other?
9. Vehicle safety features
Daytime running lights
– (Headlights that are on whenever
vehicle is running)
Lap/shoulder safety belts
– Reduce risk of moderate-to-fatal
injuries by approximately 50%.
Air bags for driver & passenger
– Combined with lap/shoulder belts,
they reduce risk of fatality by
another 10%.
Side impact airbags
Ability to disengage airbags
Child safety seats
– Note: Children in child seats
should not be placed in the
front seat of cars
Anti-lock brakes
Safety cages built into the
vehicle framework
If buying a new car, ask
about side-impact collision
data.
Other?
10. Did you know?
When driving on a road that is new to you:
– You eyes tend to scan the road from left to right which is an
excellent driving habit.
– We tend not to scan when in familiar territory.
How closely can you safely follow another car?
– We tend to follow based on how much of the road we can see
» A long hood causes us to follow at a greater distance (since
you have to look over the hood to see the street).
» Drivers with shorter hoods tend to follow more closely
– Use the 2 or 4 second rule
» Good driving conditions, keep a 2 second distance behind
» Poor driving conditions, keep a 4 second distance behind
