It is said that Kyrgyz politicians are sceptical about the road, through the Alay region, which would connect Kashgar with other markets. With that being said the Almaty would be a more dominant and more attractive option. I believe that even if Kyrgyzstan wouldn't get much money from taxation, the deal would bring into the local market long-term benefits. Better infrastructure and roads in the region. More tourists, better relations with China - hence more money and investments.
