It determines not only the political, socio-economic situation in the Asian-Pacific region (ATP) but the world political climate as well. In these latter days, the necessity of formulation of the new theoretical and practical approaches to investigation of the forms and trends of the China’s Foreign policy becomes more obvious and topical. Today, the ‘soft power’ policy is one of the most effective and relevant means of implementation of the Foreign policy strategy for any state claiming to be the leader in the system of international relations.

For implementation of the goal set the history of development of the scientific and analytical institutions in the sphere of international relations in  China  will  be  studied.  In  the  course  of  the  study,  we  will  provide  the  classification  of  the  existing ‘Think Tanks’ and also consider the mechanisms of operation of the ‘soft power’ policy and specify the main channels of pathways of the analytical center exposure on the Foreign policy of the PRC.
