China, C. Asia eye common growth

Countries benefit from maintaining productive, all-around cooperation

Fu Yaguang has been running a company dealing with the artificial adaptation and breeding of saiga antelope in Astana, Kazakhstan, for three years. Every day, he monitors the antelopes on the farm, particularly focusing on the health and life patterns of the calves.

The 43-year-old Chinese businessman is now planning to purchase fodder for the antelopes to live through the cold days of winter.

Once widespread across the vast Eurasian steppe, including northwestern China, the saiga antelope was on the brink of extinction until it made a remarkable recovery in Kazakhstan in recent years.
