The aim of the research is to analyze China’s successes in the development of the defense sector; it is highlighted that the Chinese military-industrial complex has reached the point of technological self-sufficiency at this time. The essential features of the public-private partnership model (“the triple helix”) are considered. The authors tracked the evolution of China’s export regulations as they related to the selling of goods from the militaryindustrial complex. The share of Chinese military-industrial complex exports in the global arms market is revealed. The study shows the escalation of US-Chinese rivalry in the field of building up military capacities and establishing export ties. Trade in military-industrial complex products is a means for China to achieve its foreign policy goals. The authors discuss possible areas for improving the country’s export strategies and vectors of geographical coverage of foreign trade, as well as barriers and difficulties in the development of foreign trade in military-industrial complex products.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">За последние десять лет Китай добился значительного прогресса в развитии оборонной промышленности; сегодня Китай в состоянии производить практически все номенклатурные позиции вооружения, военной техники и боеприпасов. Цель исследования - проанализировать успехи Китая в развитии оборонной отрасли. В результате исследования выявлено, что китайский военно-промышленный комплекс в настоящее время достиг точки технологической самодостаточности. Рассмотрены сущностные черты модели государственно-частного партнерства («тройная спираль»). Авторами выявлена эволюция экспортного регулирования Китая в отношении продажи товаров военно-промышленного комплекса. Проанализировано изменение доли экспорта китайского ВПК на мировом рынке вооружений. Выявлено, что торговля продукцией ВПК является для Китая средством достижения внешнеполитических целей. Авторы обсуждают возможные направления совершенствования экспортной стратегии страны и векторы географического охвата внешней торговли, а также барьеры и трудности в развитии внешней торговли продукцией ВПК.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>military-industrial complex</kwd><kwd>trade</kwd><kwd>defense industry</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Китай</kwd><kwd>военно-промышленный комплекс</kwd><kwd>оборонная промышленность</kwd><kwd>торговля</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Barkov, A.V.
