Projects aimed at supply of Russian gas to China are rapidly developed. The convergence of two countries within the cooperation through the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation - the Eurasian Economic Union - the New Silk Road that provides the great prospects for creating a unified investment infrastructure with the circular capital is a significant achievement in Sino-Russian relations development. ; В статье рассмотрен современный этап развития китайско-российских отношений (с 2009 г.), проанализированы наиболее существенные для обеих стран аспекты регионального и глобального уровня, охватывающие экономические отношения, гуманитарное и культурное сотрудничество, а также военно-политические факторы, влияющие на общий ход развития двустороннего сотрудничества.

At the end of XX century, Western countries faced a serious management crisis: the failure of three traditional management models (bureaucracy management, market management and network management). The study notes that there are three typical management regimes in public administration and social management: bureaucratic management, market management and network management. Bureaucratic governance is a rational framework that relies on the government controlling economic and social issues from top to bottom. Market management is procedural rationality based on market mediation to regulate economic and social activities. Network management is a reflective rationality that emphasizes "decentralization", "denationalization" and "diversification" and relies on multiple actors in shaping the management network and facilitating the implementation of management. To cope with the crisis, the researchers propose a new concept of "Meta-governance", which means that there are "Meta-managers" for the development of a single managerial purpose, coordination of relations between management factors, promote the coordinated management and maintenance of coherence, efficiency, sustainability and stability control. "Meta-governance not only enriches the theory of governance, but also contributes to the development of public administration and global governance. Meanwhile, the implementation of "Meta-governance" should be based on its own status and characteristics of the state. According to the results of the study, it is noted that "Meta-management" is a reaction to management crises in Western countries. It is based on a developed market, a mature civil society and a perfect political structure of Western countries. The absence of these necessary conditions will inevitably affect the effective implementation of "Meta-governance". Imitation is the wrong way to deal with "Meta-governance." Based on local conditions, for the development of a "Meta-governance" regime that corresponds to the real governance of the country, it can help solve the problems of governance.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict that started in 2022 has not changed the good development momentum of China-Russia relations. However, discussions about a large-scale confrontation between the West and Russia over Ukraine have also appeared in Chinese society. The choice between pro-Russia or pro-Ukraine positions has become a matter of debate. This article analyzes how Chinese Internet users react to news reports about the Russia-Ukraine conflict on two main video platforms – Douyin (Chinese version of TikTok) and Bilibili (Chinese video hosting similar to YouTube), which are the most popular in modern Chinese cyberspace. The number of views, likes and comments under popular videos on the topic of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is analyzed, and their thematic analysis is carried out. The conclusion is that since Chinese people generally support Russia as China's strategic ally, pro-Russia views related to the Ukraine incident are absolutely dominant in China's Internet space. Although there are also pro-Ukraine comments in online comments, they account for a small proportion.

The original purpose of the Olympic Games was to promote world peace outside of politics, but politics is often an important factor in the success of the Olympic Games. Based on these historical data, the authors propose to explore the motives for the accelerated politicization of sports in Western countries in this study from the historical dimension. The Chinese and Russian Olympic Games are analyzed to propose countermeasures and solutions for de-politicization.

As the Western world's policy towards China has been changing in recent years, the international public opinion, that China comes into contact with, is also deteriorating, which has a serious negative impact on forming the international image of China and on shaping soft power. In the context of the rapid development of modern information technology, sports events like the Winter Olympics are often accompanied by large-scale media coverage and propaganda, and it is important to deal with the negative coverage of the Olympics involving China in the Western media and to build a good national image through the Winter Olympics. This study focuses on the specific content of Western media reports on China during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics cycle, and summarizes and analyzes the characteristics of "distorted facts", "far-fetched" and "prominent political demands" in the negative reports on China in the Western media during the Winter Olympics. Based on the importance of guiding international public opinion and covering by media of such large sporting events as the Olympic Games, it is urgent and necessary to improve China's international public opinion crisis response mechanism and enhance national and international media capacity. In this regard, this paper proposes four specific response strategies: strengthening the international communication capacity of mainstream media, enhancing the role of the government in guiding and making decisions, strengthening cooperation with international media; and making full use of our own media platforms.

BACKGROUND: Understanding health worker awareness, attitudes, and self-confidence in the workplace can inform local and global responses towards emerging infectious threats, like COVID-19 pandemic response. Availability of accessible personal protective equipment (PPE) is vital to effective care and prevention. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey from February 24-28, 2020 to assess COVID-19 preparedness among health workers. In addition, we assessed trends from search engine web crawling and text-mining data trending over the Sina Weibo platform from January 1 to March 3, 2020. Data were abstracted on Chinese outbreak preparedness. RESULTS: In the survey, we engaged 6,350 persons, of whom 1,065 agreed to participate and after an eligibility logic check, 1,052 participated (16.6%). We accessed 412 internet posts as to PPE availability. Health workers satisfied with current preparedness to address COVID-19 were more likely to be female, to obtain knowledge about the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak from government organizations, and to consider their hospital prepared for the outbreak management. Health workers with more confidence in their abilities to respond were those with more faith in their institution's response capacities. Elements of readiness included having airborne infection isolation room, visitor control procedures, training in precautions and PPE use. Both survey and web post assessments suggested that health workers in need were unable to reliably obtain PPE. CONCLUSION: Health workers' self-confidence depends on perceived institutional readiness. Failure to maintain available PPE inventory for emerging infectious diseases preparedness suggests a failure to learn key lessons from the 2003-2004 SARS outbreak in China.
