Reports on a two-week study tour of The People's Republic of China designed to learn about care-giving practices in the church and the wider Chinese society and to identify possible ways of increasing collaboration between Chinese and Western care-givers. Offers observations and opinions on the historic and contemporary differences between the two cultures in a variety of areas— e.g. modes of doing pastoral care, shame versus guilt cultures, social justice and treatment of women, holistic tendencies in thinking—and opines that despite wide differences there are good possibilities for future communication and collaboration between the pastoral care deliverers of the two societies.

The article reflects the peculiarities of the application of the theory of "soft power" of the People's Republic of China through the mass media in state policy. In addition, the origin of this theory, the definition of the concept of "soft power" by Chinese researchers, adapted to Chinese society and culture, is given. This theory has gained particular popularity in the country, because it has found harmony with the worldview of the Chinese nation. Modern Chinese media, which, relying on new technologies, are the main tool for implementing this policy, successfully solve their main tasks. In particular, many major Chinese media content is published in English, their presence on the global Internet is increasing, and the scale of distribution is expanding. It is known that in order to spread Chinese culture on a global scale, deepen its acceptance, express a positive attitude to socio-economic modernization and political decisions of the People's Republic of China, the state uses innovative communication methods and actively spreads the Chinese "tone" in the international arena. The Chinese media come to the conclusion that they are effectively pursuing a policy of "soft power", spreading the values and culture of China around the world and thereby forming a positive image of the country. However, it is impossible to come to an unambiguous conclusion that China's soft power is being successfully implemented. After all, within the framework of the US-Chinese confrontation and the "belt and road", the activities of the Chinese media are severely criticized.

The article reveals the historical stages of the use of the Confucian principles in the system of public administration in the People's Republic of China during the period of reforms and openness and its positive consequences in the case of modernization reforms. It is shown that conversion to Confucianism as an ideological and value-based belief system, which is historically traditional for the Chinese society, was caused by the discrepancy between the preserved official Marxist ideology and the contemporary need for the development and modernization of the society. The implementation of Confucian ideas into the practice of state administration served as an effective vaccination against the spread of Western, liberal values which was possible, in the conditions of the market functioning, and the connected with its formation of a civil society separate from the state. It also served as an effective tool for ensuring social stability in the transitive period. The consequence of this was the strengthening of the social mobilization of the people of the People's Republic of China and the consolidation of Chinese society.

The three birth cohorts which have passed through the youth stage of their life course since the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949 have had radically different relations with the Party-state. This has brought serious consequences for the Party-state itself, the Party-state's relation with succeeding youth cohorts and for the integration of Chinese society.

The article examines the essence and the main trends of constitutional and legal regulation of the Chinese economy at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. One of the obvious consequences along the way is the tendency to revive and enhance the role of “socialist law with Chinese specificity”. In the era of reform, the 1982 Constitution of the People’s Republic of China and the laws as the basis of the legal regulatory mechanism in various spheres of Chinese society, including the economy, are important. The peculiarities of building China’s legal system, including the reasons for a small share of state laws, are revealed. The analysis of amendments to the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China allows us to see the main features of the consistent development of constitutional and legal regulation of economic relations “with Chinese specificity” expressed by the constitutional principle of the “socialist market economy.”

Characteristic Features

One of the most important events in the history of modern Chinese law was the adoption of the first Civil Code by the National People’s Congress in 2020 and its entry into force in 2021. The work on the code has been going on for a considerable amount of time; its appearance was preceded by several unsuccessful attempts at codification. The paper argues that the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China is based on the provisions of the continental, general, socialist and traditional Chinese law. Using the method of comparative legal analysis, the features of the structure and content of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China were revealed. In particular, a number of provisions related to the digitalization of the economy are highlighted, which can be recommended to be used by the domestic legislator to improve the legislation of Russia. It is argued that although structurally the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China has original features, it is grounded on the German Civil Code. It is concluded that the section of the code devoted to the property law to the greatest extent reflects the state system existing in the People’s Republic of China. It has also been proven that a number of norms on legal entities and on organizations that do not have the status of a legal entity are formulated based on the traditions of Chinese society.
