The coronavirus epidemic is putting the state system and governments of different countries around the world on trial. While Western countries are still suffering from the epidemic, China is not only keeping its spread effectively under control, but also ensuring current economic growth. The difference between China's success and the West's helplessness in fighting the epidemic has drawn the attention of the Russian media to the Chinese model. They believe that, compared to Western countries, namely the United States, the Chinese authorities were quick to react and highly organised after the outbreak, always putting people's lives above everything else and, as a result, securing the people's trust. As a result of joint actions of the Communist Party, public discipline and people's trust towards the authorities, China has effectively mobilised all social forces in the fight against the coronavirus. China has clearly demonstrated its humanistic strategy both to its own citizens and to the rest of the world. All this clearly showed the great advantages of the Chinese model, i.e. of the specific Chinese socialism. Undoubtedly, the Russian media give a more objective assessment of China's measures and results in fighting the epidemic than the Western media. According to the authors of the article, this is closely linked to the Russian «East + West» special geopolitical situation and the special historical process of «socialism + capitalism» development in Russia. In conclusion, the authors are confident that Russia will be able to find a model of development suitable for the Russian people, comparing the Chinese model with the Western one.
The article analyzes the phenomenon of social mobilization as an important method of national administration in China from the perspective of Russian scientists, for whom the history of the Communist Party of China in power is a history of social mobilization, and the history of New China is divided into the following four stages, using as an integral factor of periodization the characteristic of social mobilization: the period of mobilization for socialist transformation, the period of supermobilization “Big Leap”, the mobilization period of reform and openness and the period of mobilization “Chinese Dream”. The article examines how, in order to prevent and combat the new coronavirus epidemic, social mobilization has played a huge role, and demonstrated the enormous advantages of the Chinese socialist system with Chinese character. To learn from China's experience, Russian scientists are trying to study the source of China's powerful social mobilization from different perspectives: economics, politics, ideology, and culture. Russian scholars' understanding of China's social mobilization is important for modernizing the country's national administration and enhancing the party's ability to manage social processes. The authors consider the importance of the values of Chinese civilization in the global historical process, identifying the spiritual reasons for the social, cultural and political strengthening of China at the present stage. The authors reveal the interpretation of the concepts “poli-cy” and “reform” in Chinese culture; and draw parallels with the interpretation of these concepts in Western discourse. The article examines the threefold model of Chinese state administration (power, wisdom, virtue) and reveals the special role of the Chinese Communist Party in the process of social mobilization.
