The article analyzes the peculiarities of foreign policy during the period of Xi Jinping's presidency. The main objectives of the work are to review the main directions of the foreign policy pursued by the People's Republic of China from 2013 to the present. A distinctive feature of this period is the strengthening of China, through economic expansion in such regions as Central Asia, Southeast Asia in order to regain its position as the hegemon of East Asia. The confrontation with the United States increases the contradictions between the countries of the region and prevents the PRC from realizing its goals in full. The author comes to the conclusion that the foreign policy vectors promoted by the Government of the People's Republic of China are distinguished by a variety of tools for their implementation. However, due to the fact that not all directions are implemented equally effectively, it is impossible to say about the overall success of these directions.
