Феномен модернізації Китаю як один з альтернативних шляхів сучасного світового порядку

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the uniqueness of the socio-political and economic development of China, which was able to perform «а mini-economic miracle», taking a leading position in the world, and at the same time practically without radically changing its ideological attitudes. The article argues that China is a unique country that combined Western and Eastern traditions and becаme the Asia-Pacific region leader. The period of the cultural revolution (from the 50th to the end of 70th of XX century) revealed not optimal model of social development and the beginning of the search for new directions of development. The Chinese revolution has been recognized the political and ideological phenomenon, and the phenomenon of Chinese culture and history that has made it is possible to study it in the context of the development of Chinese civilization. The end of 70th of XX century at the first time in modern Chinese history marked the beginning of the implementation model distinctive and original way of China’s development. The correctness of the statement is substantiated that the political regime in China can hardly be called classical democracy, if we use the methods of Western countries. However, Chinese researchers have rightly concluded that it is better «managed democracy» rather than uncontrollable chaos. Consider the features of Chinese political development it may be noted that modernization caused by a number of objective reasons is open-ended. This is due to the fact that political modernization as such has not been the aim of the reforms. The development of China’s political system is a very gradual and careful adaptation of existing control systems to the changing social, economic and political conditions.
