Abstract
The article is devoted to the problems of Chinese communist ideology. The article considers the “Sinification of Marxism” as a phenomenon in the social and political life of the People’s Republic of China at the stage of development of this country after the end of the Cold War. The analysis of the process of development of the theory of “Sinification of Marxism” is carried out. Significant contradictions in the development of the Chinese nation were highlighted. At the same time, the analysis of transformations in the national priorities in the modernization policy of the People’s Republic of China was carried out. The contradictions between the old (Soviet) interpretation of the very concept of communist ideology and its current Chinese interpretation, proposed by Yu Wunzhin back in the 1990s, are shown.
