China is considered the main supporter of the regime of Emomali Rahmon and at the same time the largest investor in the country’s economy. However, residents’ opinions on this matter are mixed.
On December 15, 2022, the Central Asia Barometer public opinion polling center published the results of a survey titled “Tajikistan: Would you say that China’s relations with your country are ‘very friendly’, ‘somewhat friendly’, ‘somewhat unfriendly’, and ‘very unfriendly’?

“Most respondents in Tajikistan believe that China has a friendly attitude towards the country. Only a few respondents reported that the neighbor is somewhat or very unfriendly. Almost a third stated that they do not know the answer to this question,” the report noted.
According to the survey, over 33% of respondents consider China’s relations with Tajikistan to be “very friendly,” while 31% view them as “somewhat friendly.”
30% of respondents answered “I don’t know.” 3% consider China’s relations to be “unfriendly,” and another 3% view them as “very unfriendly.”
China is a neighboring country of Tajikistan, which has become the main investor in the country’s economy over the past 20 years. China is also the largest player in trade, financing numerous state projects, and dominates the extraction of minerals, including gold, silver, and other precious metals in Tajikistan.
