Abstract
Today the topic of anti-Chinese sentiments is the most popular discussed on Kazakhstan’s social networks. It is obvious that the growing advantage of China in all spheres of life, and some economic dependence of the countries of Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, causes fears among the majority of the country’s residents, which undoubtedly affects the development of anti-Chinese sentiments. In Kazakhstan science, there are many studies devoted to the interaction of Kazakhstan and China, but issues of a socio-cultural nature are still poorly understood. Without setting themselves the task of its comprehensive study, the authors of the article will try to identify some problematic issues that indicate the need for large-scale studies of the socio-cultural and ethno-cultural aspects of anti-Chinese sentiments observed in a larger number of modern Kazakhstan.
