THE MODERN IMAGE OF THE USA AND RUSSIA IN CHINESE MEDIA

Abstract

The research conducted in the article reveals that the activities of audiovisual, print and Internet media, as well as other information media resources of the People’s Republic of China are carried out in conditions of “controlled information openness” and social support of replicated media initiatives for the comprehensive formation of its geopolitical image as an international actor, as well as an objective analytical analysis of the activities and positions of such the main modern geopolitical figures like the Russian Federation and the United States. The author concludes that most of the materials available in the Chinese media form a positive image of Russia as a powerful strategic ally with a large military potential, a self-sufficient nation, a historically culturally rich people; an important geopolitical ally of China in the issue of parity confrontation of existing or existing threats from the United States and NATO, to which the PRC is quite objectively cautious.
