Annotation: The wave of deglobalization and the expanding scope of global trade wars have exerted severe impacts on the development of economic and trade cooperation among all countries. China and Uzbekistan are facing uncertainties in the external environment while gaining new development opportunities due to the rising geopolitical significance of Central Asia. This paper summarizes the prominent problems in China-Uzbekistan economic and trade cooperation, such as insufficient infrastructure connectivity, differences in consumer demand, language and cultural barriers, and intensifying competition among major powers in the Central Asian region. It proposes countermeasures, including strengthening high-level communication, improving project support services, enhancing project risk management, and expanding cultural exchanges, to enhance the resilience of bilateral economic and trade relations.

Keywords: Deglobalization, Central Asian geopolitics, supply chain resilience
