The continuous expansion of cross-border trade and capital flows has steadily deepened regional economic integration while simultaneously generating economic crimes of greater complexity and concealment, ranging from technologically sophisticated financial fraud to opaque cross-border capital movement. As the Belt and Road Initiative advances, China and Uzbekistan have become increasingly important trade and investment partners; although the two countries differ in legal tradition, judicial architecture and stage of economic development, they share a high degree of alignment in their fundamental goal of safeguarding fair market competition and economic security. A systematic comparative study of how the two countries govern economic crime through business and criminal law is therefore both theoretically underexplored, given the relative scarcity of comparative scholarship engaging Central Asian jurisdictions, and practically urgent for improving cross-border law-enforcement cooperation and reducing compliance costs for commercial actors operating in both markets.
