| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyzes conditions, factors, and prerequisites for China's ascendancy in the international community from the position of geographic science. The country's current positioning in key geoeconomic structures is assessed, along with its growing influence in the evolution of world political processes through wide use of instruments of "soft power." It is thought the success of China's new strategy, now being tested by the One Belt, One Road project, will fundamentally transform the architecture of the world order.
