FOREIGN POLICY APPROACHES OF THE USA AND CHINA REGARDING THE GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL ORDER

The article deals with the policy of the United States and the People’s Republic of China in the context of their attitude to the Global International Order, which developed after the Second World War. Methodology of the article. The method of analysis of official documents, speeches of representatives of state authorities of the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China was used to determine their policy regarding the Global International Order. The comparison method reveals the differences between the two states in their views on the future of the Global International Order. Applying the synthesis method made it possible to generalize the obtained results and formulate recommendations regarding the prospects of Ukraine’s cooperation with the People’s Republic of China. The scientific novelty consists of considering the foreign policy of the United States and China through the lens of their attitude to the global international order. Conclusions. The views of the United States and the People’s Republic of China on the future of the Global International Order are fundamentally different. The United States of America, not only in words but also in practice, supports the fundamental principles of the UN Charter, which define the rules of the modern international order. China is trying to build such an international order where the role of global governance institutions will be weakened. This difference was demonstrated by the attitude of the USA and the People’s Republic of China to Russia’s war against Ukraine. In this context, one should not hope that the PRC will influence Russia in ending the war and supporting the territorial integrity of Ukraine. It is necessary to be cautious about proposals to involve China in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. The USA may negatively view Ukraine’s cooperation with the People’s Republic of China. Such cooperation, with a high probability, will be used in the political struggle in the USA and may cause a decrease in American financial and military aid to Ukraine.
