| Summary/Abstract |
It is generally recognized that the relations between the United States and China today are extremely important. As is known, they are characterized not only by interaction and cooperation, but also an acute rivalry, which resembles an iceberg: only a small part of it is visible, while the real confrontation between the two countries is hidden, not to be seen by the general public.
In August 2008, this hidden American-Chinese confrontation reached its peak and marked a qualitatively new stage in the relations between the two countries. We mean the 29th Olympic Games held in Beijing.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article is an attempt to explain the specific features of China's socially oriented policy at the beginning of the 21st century from the point of view of a systemic and functional analysis of the PRC political system. Despite the limited character of the existing democratic mechanisms in the country, the Chinese authorities demonstrate a sufficiently high level of responsiveness to the everyday needs of the population, which have become strained in the course of market reforms. The article presents an analysis disclosing certain transformation processes of the political regime of modern China.
