Kazakh perspective on China, the Chinese, and Chinese migration

　　对中国、中国人和中国变化的哈萨克视角

　　Abstract: Discourse analysis of different languages of newspapers in Kazakhstan reveals that Kazakhstanis' views towards China and the Chinese are divided. The official discourse in both state-sponsored Russian and Kazakh newspapers is in accordance with the country's policy towards further engagement with their rising Chinese neighbour. However, negative stereotypes of China and the Chinese, as well as sinophobia, are pervasive in private Kazakh language newspapers. Private Russian newspapers have a more nuanced view towards China, with a hidden inclination towards being critical of that country and its people. Although the majority of these societal voices do not have a direct impact on changing the national policies of Kazakhstan, they are important in the sense that Kazakhstan's ruling elite must continue to gauge social views and to placate differences in order to secure the stability and legitimacy of the regime

　　摘要：对哈萨克斯坦不同的语言和报纸的话语分析表明，哈萨克人对中国和中国人的观点是不同的。两个由国家资助的俄语和哈萨克语纸报的官方话语与该国的政策一致，即进一步与他们崛起的中国邻居打交道。然而，对中国和中国人的负面印象，以及恐惧症，普遍存在于私有的哈萨克语报纸中。私营俄语报纸刊登对中国更细致入微的观点，对它的国家和人民进行具有隐晦倾向的批判。虽然这些社会声音中的多数没有对改变哈萨克斯坦的民族政策有直接影响，但在这个意义上，即，哈萨克斯坦的统治精英必须继续规范社会观点和安抚差异以保证政权的稳定和合法性，这些声音仍然是重要的。
