In the new century, China sets itself ambitious goals, the implementation of which depends to a large extent on the development of the country's scientific and technical base, in connection with which in recent years, Beijing has significantly increased investments in its own science, against the background of this, the financing of science communication has also increased.

Science communication is an important component of the scientific and technological development of society, which is, in a broad sense, processes and mechanisms for the dissemination of advanced ideas and achievements of progress both within the academic community and outside it through various forms, institutions and communication channels. Currently, mainly in the Western world, the theory and practice of science communication is actively developing. In contrast to the traditional understanding of this term, in China the terms kepu and kexue chuanbo (popularisation and dissemination of science) are used, which better correspond to Chinese realities. They mean the transfer of knowledge, not a way of thinking, it is more about the dissemination of science among young people, people in rural and poor regions, than about the exchange of ideas and ways of thinking - a kind of science communication with Chinese characteristics.

The article notes that despite a number of obvious difficulties at the implementation stage, partly related to the peculiarities of the Chinese culture and general bureaucratic problems, the popularisation of science is systemic and multi-level, involves a large number of channels and institutions for the transfer of knowledge and scientific information, and has a solid legal basis, which contributes to the solution of the tasks assigned to it and reaching a new level. At the same time, despite the rapid development of Chinese scientific thought, one should not overestimate its influence on world science.
