Sino-Kazakh negotiations concerning water distribution of cross-border rivers have reached an impasse for the past six years. This article hypothesizes that China’s stance on Sino-Kazakh cross-border river issues is fundamentally driven by China’s assessment of separatism/terrorism in Xinjiang and its national policy concerning domestic water conservation. The argument is developed using the process-tracing method. The major finding of this research is that Sino-Kazakh cross-border river cooperation is facilitated by China’s reliance on Kazakhstan as an anti-separatist/counter-terrorist partner and thwarted by China’s national securitization of domestic water resources.
