Annotation: This study analyzes operational challenges facing Chinese enterprises in Uzbekistan under the Belt and Road Initiative. Based on surveys of 85 firms and case analyses, it identifies regulatory instability, local skills gaps, currency fluctuations, and financing constraints as major barriers. Compared to Japanese and Korean firms, China's rapid expansion model shows weaker local integration. The research proposes an integrated management framework emphasizing three pillars: strategic localization, systematic digital transformation, and ESG compliance. These findings bridge macrolevel policy objectives with practical enterprise-level operational strategies.

Keywords: Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese overseas enterprises, Uzbekistan market entry, operational efficiency, regulatory adaptation, localization strategy, digital transformation, ESG standards
