Abstract

The article defines the conceptual foundations of China's foreign policy under Xi Jinping. China's foreign policy under Xi Jinping has been based on a number of concepts put forward by the Chinese government, which clearly show that China aspires to be a leading player in the international arena. The purpose of the study is to analyze the conceptual foundations of China's foreign policy under Xi Jinping. The article examines China's foreign policy initiatives implemented since 2012: Chinese dream, community of common destin», Belt and Road Initiative, new model of international relations, new model of US-China relations, common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, the principle of broad consultation, joint contribution and common benefits in global governance. The conceptual approaches of the PRC to the Asia-Pacific region, Arab countries, Latin America, and Africa are also considered. It is noted that China's foreign policy initiatives are strategic, multidimensial and innovative. Their strategy is to help achieve the grand goal – revival of the Chinese nation. China's foreign policy initiatives are multidimensial in that they cover political, security, economic, financial, legal, cultural and environmental aspects. The innovativeness of China's foreign policy lies in the fact that Xi Jinping's concepts focus on China's contribution to the overall development of mankind and it includes new Chinese theories of a multipolar world – new model of international relations and a new model of great powers.. It is also noted that Xi Jinping's foreign policy ideas are mostly politically vague and not specific enough, and that China has not yet been able to offer attractive universal concepts.
