After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the large international companies of the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) began to emphasize collaboration with the former Soviet republics because of opportunities for new markets and raw materials. There are several basic problems, however, demanding serious research into such trade prospects: (1) The definition of economic and technological variants in the division of labor among Russia, Central Asia, and the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.), including the roles of Kazakstan and Xinjiang. (2) Defining needs and prioritizing units of production, labor, transportation, etc. (3) Macropolitical and macroeconomical forecasts of the situations in Russia, Central Asia, and China. (4) Research on the optimum forms of cooperation.
