В статье проводится всесторонний анализ современной периферийной дипломатии Китая «в новую эпоху», когда центральным руководящим принципом становится построение «сообщества единой судьбы» и концепция периферийной дипломатии «цинь, чэн, хуэй, жун» («доброжелательность, искренность, взаимная выгода и инклюзивность»). Методология исследования основывается на комплексном рассмотрении историко-культурных традиций Китая, анализе официальных речей, документов, а также конкретных практик сотрудничества в рамках периферийной дипломатии. Особое внимание уделяется концепции «цинь, чэн, хуэй, жун», которая отражает традиционные ценности Китая: доверие, гармонию, уважение к соседям. В результате рассмотрения выявлено, что китайская периферийная дипломатия опирается на глубокое понимание значимости добрососедства, стремится к укреплению стратегического доверия, развитию взаимовыгодных экономических проектов, а также к обеспечению инклюзивного сотрудничества. Китай подчеркивает, что стабильность и процветание всего региона невозможны без гармоничных отношений с соседями, содействуя интеграции и коллективному развитию. В заключение делается вывод, что концепция «сообщества единой судьбы» стала фундаментом периферийной дипломатии Китая и обеспечивает устойчивое, справедливое и мирное развитие его окружения.

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of China’s modern peripheral diplomacy in the new era, where the central guiding principle becomes the building of a «community with a shared future»” and the concept of «qin, cheng, hui, rong» («amity, sincerity, mutual benefit, and inclusiveness») for peripheral diplomacy. The methodology of the study is based on a thorough examination of China’s historical and cultural traditions, the analysis of official speeches and documents, as well as specific practices of cooperation within the framework of peripheral diplomacy. Particular attention is paid to the concept of «qin, cheng, hui, rong», which reflects China’s traditional values of trust, harmony, and respect for neighbors. The analysis reveals that China’speripheral diplomacy is based on a deep understanding of the importance of good-neighborliness, striving to strengthen strategic trust, and develop mutually beneficial economic projects, as well as ensuring inclusive cooperation. China emphasizes that the stability and prosperity of the entire region are impossible without harmonious relations with its neighbors, thereby contributing to integration and collective development. In conclusion, it is argued that the concept of a «community with a shared future» has become the foundation of China’s peripheral diplomacy and ensures the sustainable, fair, and peaceful development of its surroundings.
