Social Trust and the Regulatory Dimension in the Experience of Chinese Society: Axiological Aspect

The paper analyzes the impact of the sociocultural and regulatory dimension on the sphere of social trust in the experience of Chinese society. The study of the interaction between law and trust as in the case of Chinese society shows the integration of traditional and innovative aspects; the legal institutionalization of trust is carried out with the supporting function of traditional values. Trust itself acts as a mechanism that ensures the functioning of legal, political, and economic relations. A study of China’s experience shows the importance of a social trust resource in shaping and ensuring the development of legal, political, and economic institutions. Trust allows the Chinese public system to effectively manage, minimize the risks of external influence, and increase the efficiency of processes. The analysis of the Chinese example shows the key role of the sociocultural potential of society in the formation of a unique space of trust within the country and its impact on the construction of foreign policy relations. Trust allows us to achieve and implement the key principles of international communication, namely openness, transparency, explainability, while maintaining a balance of internal and external, security and development. According to the author’s position, these approaches have prospects of application in Russia.
