Abstract The article examines the geopolitical dimension of China's foreign policy in the post-Soviet space. The cooperation of the People's Republic of China with the countries of the post-Soviet space and the peculiarities of international politics in this region are studied. Special attention in the study is given to Chinese-Ukrainian relations in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Attention is focused on the features of "pro-Russian neutrality" in the international policy of the People's Republic of China. It is noted that the policy of creeping economic expansion forces China to simultaneously form constructive relations with all countries, even hostile to each other, which gives Beijing the opportunity to achieve the necessary profit and benefit. The article proves that over the past 2 years, Russia's dependence on the PRC has not only increased, but has become almost total and has gone beyond the scope of economy and security. This dependence has already become political. But at the same time, there are agreements between the PRC and the USA regarding the restoration of military communication between the states and cooperation in the field of counter-narcotics. But these agreements do not affect China's cooperation with Russia and the pro-russian position regarding Ukraine. It is noted that the lack of attention to the Ukrainian position on the part of the Chinese authorities is increasingly destroying the Chinese "soft power" in Ukraine.
