Summary/Abstract |
he author presents her view on one of the most important events in the history of China in the first half of the 20th century, 1919's May Fourth movement. The reasons for and consequences of this movement against the backdrop of the New Culture movement (1915-1925) are considered in light of the effect the ideas of Westernization had on China, and the experience of the 1917 October Revolution in Russia. The relationship between domestic events and foreign influences on China is demonstrated. History shows it was a turning point in the life of Chinese society and called the future path of the country's development into question. Contemporary assessments of the New Culture movement and 1919's May Fourth movement revise and supplement existing ideas on the reasons for and content of the latter.

Summary/Abstract |
May 2019 marked 400 years of relations between Russia and China, two major powers belonging to different world civilizations. It was a long way from knowing or understanding absolutely nothing about each other, through conflicts, including armed clashes, to realizing that a peaceful dialogue based on mutual understanding and reciprocal concessions was the right choice. The first step in this direction was taken by Russia as it sent, in 1618-1619, Ivan Petlin's mission to China where it was welcomed at the diplomatic level.

Summary/Abstract |
This article analyzes the six-year period of implementation of the global Chinese project One Belt, One Road (OBOR), or the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Its positive aspects are highlighted: expanding the number of participants and their areas of interaction, creating a powerful financial base, creating new transborder transportation routes, increasing trade and investment among the countries participating in the project. Problems have been identified, including the lack of transparency of OBOR projects, insufficient consideration of national interests and local needs of China's partners, increasing their geopolitical risks, and the "debt trap" of Chinese loans. Possible ways of deepening the Russian-Chinese interaction at the new stage of BRI 2.0 development are proposed.

Summary/Abstract |
Cooperation with the countries belonging to the BRICS association is a key line of China's foreign policy. For China, the importance of this format of cooperation is supplemented by the remaining challenges of effective joint action. In addition, the relevance of applying "soft" instruments will continue to grow under the conditions of the increasing instability of international relations. The essence of the "soft power" concept, its characteristics with respect to China, and the range of instruments available to China for implementing it in its partner countries are analyzed, along with its effectiveness in the present stage.

Summary/Abstract |
The paper examines the position of the Republic China consulates in the Soviet Union in 1937-1938. During the Great Terror period. Chinese consulates found themselves in an ambiguous position. On the one hand, they represented a friendly state and were not closed down as many other foreign consulates were at the time. But on the other, NKVD charged many of their staff with working for the Japanese intelligence service, while the consulates' efforts to protect their nationals were viewed by the Soviet side as hostile.

Summary/Abstract |
he article deals with the effect of UN international sanctions on the national economy and foreign trade of North Korea. It is noted that the effects of sanctions are especially experienced in the civil and humanitarian fields and in light industry but only slightly affect nonobservant trade, and result in shadow economy growth. North Korea has to look for illegal ways for its foreign trade operations, arrange its own trade chains with a relevant transportation, logistic and financial infrastructure which in its turn requires additional efforts in search for illegal access to international markets and leads to inefficiency of the economic system as a whole. The authors are of the opinion that it would be more effective to create a limiting mechanism that would allow North Korea to implement economic transformation through international trade and thereby remove the reasons for provocations on its part.

Summary/Abstract |
The principles of China's current foreign policy and global strategy are examined, along with their connection to the world-view prerequisites of traditional Chinese philosophy, culture, and politics. The author shows that a category of transformations (e.g., hua and yi) that emphasize conformity, the importance of certain events in the life of a person or country, and the hidden continuity of polar values lie at the heart of the traditional Chinese world-view, strategy included. From this premise stems the concept of the existence of two dissimilar but not individual world orders. Opposition between an individual and the outside world is not allowed. The historical significance of the ideal of a "Community of Common Destiny" and the concept of a "New Celestial Empire" promoted by the Chinese leadership is marked by parallels between Chinese and contemporary Western philosophy.
