Abstract
In the Sino-Mongolian relations there is an application of different strategies by China and Mongolia, the states that differ substantially by their military, political, economic and demographic potentials, to maintain balanced and good neighborly relations with each other. The basis of Beijing's policy towards Mongolia is the strategy of soft power. The main strategy of Ulaanbaatar can be classified as «rough weakness» aimed at making inexpedient the application of brute force by the neighbor. In practice these diametrically opposite strategies can effectively balance each other. It should be noted that for China three is a temptation to conduct an assertive policy. However, Beijing is strongly constraining possible temptations and apparently will strictly follow this policy in the future too.
