In the post-truth era of the postmodern worldview and the simulacra dominance the study of the Chinese media discourse in the global media-sphere is of special importance. Besides, it is interesting, primarily, from the point of view of their use of relevant modern discursive and information and communication technologies to strengthen their role in international processes. The main content of the research is the analysis of the media text samples chosen from 2013 to 2018. The media texts are analyzed as units of Chinese political media discourse. Summarizing the results of the research the author comes to the conclusion that the discursive practices of the Chinese media on foreign policy issues are specific and unique. The author manages to renovate the topic of the political discourse, having singled out the linguistic peculiarities of Chinese media texts.
