This article focuses on Turkey and China's bilateral relationship. In this context, the opportunities and challenges have been analyzed between the two countries. According to the findings, some economic opportunities such as the ‘Belt and Road project and problematic areas such as Uyghurs' problems and Syria issue are hot spots for this relationship. Besides, Turkey's membership in NATO also has been regarded to determine the axis of this relationship.

Another aim to reach in this paper is to analyze potential uncertainties to determine the strategic depth of this relationship. In this frame, primary sources and descriptive analysis method has been used for this research.
