Foreign Policy and «Diplomacy of the World Power with Chinese Characteristics»: Based on the Report of the CPC Central Committee to the XX Congress

Abstract

The article analyzes the text of the report of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which Xi Jinping delivered at the XX Party Congress, in the context of the current state and prospects of the foreign policy strategy of the People’s Republic of China, as well as the challenges to the country’s foreign policy in recent years. Based on the results of the analysis of the report, changes in China’s strategic positions are discussed. It is concluded that the main strategy of the foreign policy of the People’s Republic of China as a whole will remain unchanged: the country in foreign affairs relies on the domestic political situation, the ideology of the Communist Party of China and the role of the national leader, openness, modernization of the system and the potential to ensure national security and social stability. The main challenge for the People’s Republic of China remains the Taiwan issue, which is supposed to be resolved peacefully in the “one countrytwo systems” format, but the use of force is not ruled out. Relations with the United States of America are defined as a restrained global confrontation without open counteraction. The Russian-Chinese strategic partnership is understood as the choice of the People’s Republic of China, which meets its national interests, which will contribute to the formation of a multipolar model of the modern world. The actualization of the country’s foreign policy strategy at the XX Congress of the CPC is shown in its dynamics and comparison with previous strategies.
