In this article the authors describe one of the topical issues which is the analysis of ethnopolitical conflict potential of modern China. As a result of the CPC’s prudent foreign and domestic policy, the country is influenced by huge political changes that can bring about key reforms and significantly impact on the establishment of the new world order. Under these circumstances the PRC experiences issues related to ethnopolitical conflicts. In addition, such problems characterize home-policy development of the country. Conflicts in Xinjiang-Uyghur Autonomous Region, Tibetan Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region etc. are strong examples of the rise of China’s conflict potential which is based on religious, ethnic, political and territorial tensions. This range of problems is the subject of the research conducted in this article.
