Abstract. The purpose of the article is to analyze and explore the impact of the Soviet Union’s collapse on China and how this historical event influenced the global order. The methodology of the study involves a qualitative analysis of historical, political, and economic events. The approach combines historical contextualization, case study analysis, and theoretical frameworks to examine the impact of the Soviet Union’s collapse on China and the resulting shifts in the global order. The scientific novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of how the Soviet Union’s collapse served as both a cautionary example and a strategic opportunity for China, shaping its unique approach to domestic stability and global influence. This intersection of historical, political, and economic analysis fills a gap in existing literature on the post-Cold War global order. Conclusions. It highlights China’s innovative adaptation of "socialism with Chinese characteristics," blending economic liberalization with political control to avoid the pitfalls that led to the USSR’s disintegration. Furthermore, the study underscores China’s pivotal role in fostering a multipolar world order through a combination of soft power diplomacy and economic initiatives, presenting an alternative model to Western hegemony.
