Abstract

The researcher shows that modern China is actively developing a whole set of humanitarian technologies. For this it integrates the best world conceptions and practices with its own rich and very old social-and-cultural practice. The best Chinese intellects are working at the technologies of strategic thinking, public relations, mass-media, public diplomacy, lobbyism, mass events organization, etc. At the same time much attention is given to “soft power”. The country’s leaders and analysts realize that preservation of integrity and the effective state’s foreign activity require the concord of “soft” and “hard” powers, giving rise to “smart power”
