Culture, education, language, cultural and historical traditions – all this is becoming an effective tool for spreading the influence of the state, both at the regional and global levels. Cultural dialogue in a broad sense creates favorable prerequisites for the implementation of various integration projects, which requires new conceptual approaches and effective strategies, the development of which takes place in the context of the policy of “soft power”. Through understanding the theoretical basis of the concept of “soft power” and public diplomacy, the presented article focuses on China’s foreign policy, including the activities of Confucius Institutes, revealing their current development status, their own strengths and challenges in promoting “soft power”, as well as the opportunities and challenges it faces in implementing “One Belt, One Road” Initiative and the dissemination of the Chinese language abroad, in China’s partner countries on the Initiative.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Автор отмечает, что тенденцией последних лет стало повышение значимости культурного фактора в современных международных отношениях и изменениями в системе межкультурного взаимодействия в современных условиях глобального развития. Культура, образование, язык, культурные и исторические традиции – все это становится сегодня эффективным инструментом распространения влияния государства, как на региональном, так и глобальном уровнях. Культурный диалог в широком смысле создает благоприятные предпосылки для реализации различных интеграционных проектов, что требует новых концептуальных подходов и эффективных стратегий, выработка которых происходит в контексте политики «мягкой силы». Через понимание теоретической основы концепции «мягкой силы» и публичной дипломатии, представленная статья фокусируется на внешней политики Китая, в том числе на деятельности институтов Конфуция, раскрывая их текущий статус развития, их собственные сильные стороны и проблемы в продвижении «мягкой силы», а также возможности и проблемы, с которыми он сталкивается в реализации инициативы «Один пояс – один путь» и распространении китайского языка за рубежом, в странах-партнерах Китая по инициативе.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>soft power</kwd><kwd>cultural policy</kwd><kwd>public diplomacy</kwd><kwd>public diplomacy</kwd><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>Confucius Institute</kwd><kwd>Belt and Road Initiative</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>мягкая сила</kwd><kwd>культурная политика</kwd><kwd>публичная дипломатия</kwd><kwd>общественная дипломатия</kwd><kwd>Китай</kwd><kwd>Институт Конфуция</kwd><kwd>инициатива Один пояс – один путь</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Vision and action aimed at promoting the joint construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the XXI Century Maritime Silk Road.
