Small states are very weak in the political area. That is why there is a need for them to try to choose the various foreign policy strategies to defend themselves. Belarus is a small state that needs to survive in our rapidly developing and politically unstable world. Having emerged as a newly independent state as the result of the collapse of the USSR, Belarus faced a difficult choice in the decision where it was going to move further and on whom it could rely. In particular, in recent years, Belarus needs to make a subtle strategic calculation as to how to manage its relations with two important partners: Russia and China. This article considers the theory of small states’ foreign policy strategies in detail. It analyzes the choice of Belarus’s foreign policy strategies towards China and Russia. It shows that Belarus combines some characteristics from the classic small states’ foreign policy strategies, and it does not fully follow any of them.

The growing issue of attracting private investment in the Russian economy from year to year gave rise to the development of new measures of support from the state in relation to organizations implementing an investment project, which also form the most favorable investment climate in the country. Such preferences, which consist in a stabilization clause, are contained in the new Federal Law No. 69-FZ of 01.04.2020 “On Protection and Promotion of Capital Investments in the Russian Federation”. However, based on the conducted research, it is concluded that there are a number of legal imperfections, which are expressed in a number of conditions, non-compliance with which entails the inadmissibility of concluding an agreement on the protection and promotion of investment between a private and public person. At the same time, those provisions are so unattainable, infringing and limiting that the question of the expediency of the analyzed investment law will be justified. That is why proposals were made to adjust the rules, which would allow widening the range of persons entitled to state support and thereby attract their capital as an investment in the Russian economy – that is, to achieve the goals originally set.

This article examines the response by U.S.-educated Chinese to the international debate over the recognition of the Republic of China. In their private and public writings, these students viewed China’s struggle for recognition as part of the country’s bigger problem of securing allies in a world overpowered by imperialism and exploitation. While certain that the “monarchical powers” of Europe and Japan were using recognition as a tool to further extort the Chinese government, the students stressed that the United States could be counted on to stand up for China, based on the United States’ purported commitment to freedom and fairness. The question of recognition ultimately became a test of the Open Door Policy, which the students interpreted as a U.S. guarantee of Chinese sovereignty. This article provides a fresh interpretation of the recognition of the Chinese Republic while also reframing the Open Door by linking it to the notion of U.S. exceptionalism.
