Abstract
The processes taking place in world politics today indicate the beginning of the formation of a new world order – the transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world, where various forces are trying to establish new rules of international relations based on equality, respect for the sovereignty and independence of States, and respect for the interests of the parties. Russia and China are becoming one of such centers of power, which are trying to speak from common positions on various issues of the foreign policy agenda, which increases their influence in the international arena. The development of relations between the two countries has become a narrative of strategic partnership, which is a set of measures and agreements aimed at deepening bilateral cooperation in all key areas. This article attempts to characterize the various areas of cooperation between the two countries and to point out the specifics of the formation of the narrative of strategic partnership created in the Chinese mass media.
