During the presentation, the author outlined the principal findings of his research, with a particular focus on the practical dimensions of China's economic transition and the lessons that can be drawn from this experience for other countries. The discussion among the attendees addressed several pertinent issues:
• the most significant ideas presented in the book for the advancement of Sino-Russian relations;
• the most urgent scientific and practical challenges in the field of China studies;
• the role of the academic community in fostering mutual understanding between Russia and China.
The event was attended by representatives from the scientific and business sectors in Russia and China, as well as experts in international relations and Oriental studies. Participants commended Andrey Ostrovsky's contributions to the development of Russian Sinology and emphasized the significance of such scholarly gatherings in enhancing mutual understanding between the two nations.
