Abstract： This article takes the geopolitics of Eurasia as the macro background and systematically examines the strategic connotation, interaction mode of the diplomatic relations between China and Kazakhstan, as well as their profound impact on the regional power balance. The paper first sorts out the historical evolution and strategic foundation of China-Kazakhstan relations from the establishment of diplomatic relations to the construction of a permanent comprehensive strategic partnership, and then deeply analyzes the institutionalized cooperation and interaction models of the two sides in the main fields such as politics, economy and culture. Research reveals that the deepening of China-Kazakhstan relations has not only significantly reshaped the power structure in Central Asia, creating a "rebalancing" effect on traditional dominant forces such as Russia and the United States, but also provided new public goods for regional governance through the connection of the "Belt and Road Initiative" and the "Path of Light". Despite challenges such as external intervention and economic structural differences, China-Kazakhstan relations have demonstrated broad prospects for development in emerging fields like green energy and the digital economy. Their successful practices offer significant implications for the evolution of the Eurasian and even global order.
