However, according to some researchers, over the past 20 years the Chinese leadership’s interest in this mechanism of international cooperation has decreased. This article explores the place of the SCO in Chinese foreign policy by analyzing the representation of this organization in the PRC’s media - Chinese-language publications in the newspapers People’s Daily and Global Times , which both belong to the Chinese Communist Party. Such focus allows better understanding the value of the SCO to China and its position vis-á-vis other Chinese initiatives in Central Asia. The authors use methods of quantitative and qualitative content analysis, namely counting the frequency of single words, identifying and counting the most common frames, and discussing the ways these frames are constructed. Frame analysis demonstrates that the articles focus on the achievements of the SCO in solving regional problems, while existing difficulties are ignored. The SCO is represented as an important element of China’s foreign policy, along with the Belt and Road Initiative, while the details of their interaction are not discussed. It should also be mentioned that the SCO is framed as an association of countries opposing Western hegemonism and advocating a new system of international relations. An extremely positive representation of the SCO serves legitimation of the political regime in the PRC: the articles focus on China’s role as a leader in the SCO and its successes in addressing domestic problems, such as poverty reduction and fighting the coronavirus infection. This narrative is often created by quoting the opinions of high-level foreign politicians and average citizens.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Шанхайская организация сотрудничества (ШОС) является одной из первых международных организаций, в создании которых ключевую роль сыграла Китайская Народная Республика (КНР). Однако, по мнению некоторых исследователей, за прошедшие 20 лет заинтересованность китайского руководства в этом механизме международного сотрудничества снизилась. Оценивается роль ШОС во внешней политике КНР через анализ репрезентации этой организации в СМИ КНР, а именно в публикациях на китайском языке в газетах «Жэньминь Жибао» и «Хуаньцю Шибао». Изучение репрезентации ШОС в СМИ КНР помогает лучше понять, в чем заключается ценность этой организации для КНР на настоящий момент и как ШОС соотносится с другими китайскими проектами в Центральной Азии. Анализ статей проводился при помощи количественного и качественного контент-анализа: авторы измерили частотность отдельных слов, выделили и подсчитали фреймы, подробно разобрали отдельные примеры их использования. В ходе фрейм-анализа были получены следующие результаты. В фокус статей попадают достижения ШОС в вопросах решения региональных проблем, а сложности сотрудничества не освещаются. ШОС позиционируется как важный элемент внешней политики КНР наряду с инициативой «Пояс и путь», однако детали их взаимодействия не обсуждаются. Организация фреймируется как объединение стран, противостоящих западному гегемонизму и выступающих за обновление системы международных отношений. Представляется, что исключительно положительное освещение ШОС связано с попыткой легитимации политического режима КНР: в статьях делается акцент как на лидерстве КНР в рамках ШОС, так и на успехах Китая в решении внутренних проблем, таких как бедность и распространение коронавирусной инфекции. Следует отметить, что в изученных нами публикациях о заслугах КНР часто говорят иностранцы - как политические деятели, так и простые граждане.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>the Shanghai Cooperation Organization</kwd><kwd>SCO</kwd><kwd>China’s foreign policy</kwd><kwd>Central Asia</kwd><kwd>Chinese media</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Шанхайская организация сотрудничества</kwd><kwd>ШОС</kwd><kwd>внешняя политика КНР</kwd><kwd>Центральная Азия</kwd><kwd>СМИ КНР</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Публикация подготовлена в ходе проведения исследования (№ 21-04-013) в рамках  Программы «Научный фонд Национального исследовательского университета «Высшая школа экономики» (НИУ ВШЭ)» в 2021 г.</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">The publication was prepared within the framework of the Academic Fund Program in HSE University in 2021 (grant No. 21-04-013).</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Alasuutari, P., Qadir, A., &amp; Creutz, K.
