AB - 
	The article analyzes the Belarusian-Chinese relations at the present stage. The author presents a brief history of cooperation in the 1990’s. for understanding the evolution in relations between states. The contractual legal framework of cooperation are considered, special attention are paid to the format of strategic partnership. Despite the ambiguity of the terminology used by Chinа in drawing up agreements with a strategic nature, in regards to Belarus we can talk about a gradual increase in the level of cooperation.

	In the main part of the article, key vectors of cooperation are highlighted, achievements and problems in the development of relations are indicated. As one of the important formats, to which China recently prioritizes over, cooperation between regions has been highlighted. In this area, Belarus has no the problem of lack of experience, but a necessity to transfer of powers to the regions.

	In current times, Belarus and China have a number of well-defined achievements. Partners are interested in deepening relations, but the level of their goals is disproportionate. It is inevitable in the development of relations between states that have different economic potential and international standing. This is entirely obvious that Belarus will have to undertake a high-quality domestic reforms to be able to take advantage of the strategic partnership with such a giant as China. Today the legal base has reached its critical point, it is time to do something specific or step aside. No one will notice this gap in the Chain of China’s „Silk Road”.
