In the middle of the last century it was difficult to say, that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) would be able to become one of the world’s political and economic leaders by the end of XX c. The current situation in the PRC is largely due to skillful reforms of Deng Xiaoping and his fellows. The policy of reforms and openness has influenced the development of China in the last quarter of XX c. The gradual increase in reforms has led to strength the economy, to improve the situation in social field, to consolidate China’s position in the world stage. All changes in the state have been covered in the official party press organ – the newspaper «Renmin Ribao». Moreover, all materials published in the newspaper have obtained a high level of trustiness. Thus, the official Chinese press in the newspaper «Renmin Ribao» is essential in propaganda of party’s policy influencing on people’s life.
