FOREIGN POLICY CONCEPTS OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Abstract
The relevance of the study is due to the increased attention to the modern foreign policy of the Republic of China. The article analyzes the concepts of China's foreign policy. The study used methods of both theoretical and empirical levels. With the help of the comparative method, it was possible to establish common and different aspects in the main directions of PRC foreign policy from the middle of the 20th century to the present. Aspect analysis made it possible to consider the problem of China's foreign policy relations from the standpoint of researchers studying this problem. As a result, it was revealed that the following conceptual ideas form the basis of China's official foreign policy strategy: five principles of peaceful coexistence, the theory of "peace and development" by Deng Xiaoping, the theory of "harmonious world", the concept of "Chinese dream" by Xi Jinping. The materials of the article can be used for comparative analysis of China's foreign policy in interstate unions. An important feature of Chinese foreign policy at the present stage is the implementation of multilateral diplomacy and stimulation of the development of mechanisms for regional cooperation, which is reflected in the activities of the People's Republic of China in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). The fundamental foreign policy positions of China are enshrined in the "White Paper" published regularly since 1998. The latest, ninth White Paper, published in May 2015, focused on China's military strategy, as well as the country's current position in the international arena.
