Summary
A. Ostrovsky. China’s Economy on the Verge of the 12th Five-Year Plan: Results and Prospects
At the 4th session of the National People’s Congress of the 11th convocation in March 2011 it was decided «to create a prosperous society in China by 2020.» A key element of this task is the 12th Five-Year Plan for socio-economic development of China for 2011–2015, which is a part of China’s economic strategy to be second in the world by indices of national power after the United States by 2050. Adopted by the PRC leadership development plan for the economy in 2006–2010 and subsequent adjustments thereto allowed the country to avoid the most serious consequences of the global financial crisis.

Key words: 12th Five-Year Plan, the global financial crisis, national power, the expan-sion of domestic demand, the transition to innovative economy.
B. Zhiguleva. The Interaction of Internal and External Growth Factors in Chinese Economy
The combination of three types of demand (consumption, investment and external demand) is important factor of economic growth in China. Expansion of external demand con-tributed not only to the inflow of foreign investment and technology, but also to the expansion of domestic consumer and investment demand. However, policies to stimulate domestic de-mand in 2009–2010 to compensate for losses caused by the decline in exports are still based on a significant expansion in investment, and the contribution from consumer demand remained low. The consequence of this policy was the overheating of Chinese economy and the rise of commodity indexes and commodity prices.

A. Larin. The Chinese Modernization: Prompts for Russia
Comparison of the modernization process in China and Russia shows that a key factor in its success is the quality of power — it must have a high degree of capacity and still be vi-tally interested in the profound transformation of society. This interest arises if the country is faced with critical challenges that threaten its existence, and the ruling class is aware of the in-divisibility of the country’s fate and his own. A necessary condition for successful reform is also a visible increase in living standards.
Key words: modernization, reforms, authoritarianism, political will, political respon-sibility, standard of living, people’s well-being.
