The purpose of this research project is to trace the origins of the concept of soft power , based on the materials and articles of the international Chinese magazine China Reconstructs (1952-1990). During the historical period under study, China was transitioning from the model of a closed state to positioning itself as one of the world leaders; the gradual transition to an open country required the activation of soft power policy in order to recognize legitimacy and strengthen its role on the world stage. The main stages of the history of New China’s development were not only reflected in the pages of the magazine, but also changed the magazine itself and its ideological content, which was broadcasting to the outside world. The authors conclude that soft power began to emerge since the formation of the People’s Republic of China and dates back to the reign of Mao Zedong. The authors consider the China Reconstructs magazine as an important tool of China’s soft power of that period, which is confirmed by the editorial guidelines of the magazine and the content of the articles.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Значимость темы исследования определяется актуальностью проблемы «мягкой силы» во внешнеполитической и внешнеэкономической политике Китая (КНР). Цель данного исследовательского проекта - проследить истоки концепции «мягкой силы» на основе материалов и статей международного китайского журнала China Reconstructs (1952-1990 гг.). В исследуемый исторический период Китай переходил от модели закрытого государства к позиционированию себя как одного из мировых лидеров, постепенный переход к стране открытого типа требовал активизации политики «мягкой силы» с целью признания легитимности и укрепления своей роли на мировой арене. Основные этапы истории развития Нового Китая не только нашли свое отражение на страницах журнала, но и меняли сам журнал и его идеологическое содержание, транслируемое во внешний мир. Авторы приходят к выводу, что «мягкая сила» начала складываться с момента образования КНР и берет свое начало еще в период правления Мао Цзэдуна. Журнал China Reconstructs авторы рассматривают как важный инструмент «мягкой силы» Китая того периода, что подтверждается установками редакции журнала и содержанием статей.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>China Today</kwd><kwd>China Today</kwd><kwd>China’s soft power</kwd><kwd>media</kwd><kwd>ideology</kwd><kwd>New China</kwd><kwd>reform and openness</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>мягкая сила Китая</kwd><kwd>СМИ</kwd><kwd>идеология</kwd><kwd>Новый Китай</kwd><kwd>реформы и открытость</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Lao Tz. Dao de jing.
