Annotation: As the Sino-Central Asian economic ties expand rapidly, particularly in heavy industry and infrastructure under the Belt and Road Initiative, it has become more and more necessary to enable a shift from General Purpose Chinese (GPC) to a specialized framework in Chinese Language Education. This paper addresses the current lack of a systemic Chinese for Specific Purposes (CSP) teaching model in the region, proposing a system which tailored to the needs of Chinese-funded enterprises in Central Asia. The core of this model involves School-Enterprise collaboration for authentic corpus construction and direct involvement of corporate HR in student assessment. This CSP model aims to directly cultivate high-quality, job-ready human resources, significantly enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of the Sino-Uzbek economic partnership, providing an example for the whole of Central Asia.
