Abstract
The study was inspired by the increasing influence of China in the international political and economic space and the task of shaping its national image in the media. In the context of the development of bilateral relations between Russia and China, the mechanisms of representing the image of China in the Russian media are of particular importance for both Chinese and Russian colleagues. The author has applied structural and functional analysis, case study and content analysis, for which has chosen TASS and RIA Novosti news agencies and the materials about China published in the period from 2014 to 2023. The emphasis is laid on the analysis of the subject matter, tonality and the main trends in Russian media reports about China, the features of such reports and changes in their focus and continuity, and the generalized media image of the country in representation of Russian media.
