Despite the fact that the history of mankind has entered a new stage of development, it should be noted the existence of various national phobias, known as a symbol of archaism. I would like to focus on the problem of sinophobia, which can be noted as one of the trends that have taken place in modern world politics. We know that there are many issues of pre-confessional or negative assessment of a particular nation in history, but among the phobias that are becoming increasingly relevant in modern political science, there is every reason to believe that sinophobia is relevant for our political science. We can say that the coronavirus pandemic, which is still not slowing down in the world, has become one of the reasons for the strengthening of these sinophobic tendencies. Of course, sinophobia is known to be one of the long-standing trends. In this article we will try to analyze the emergence of sinophobia, its specifics and historical evolution. I would also like to focus on the trend in the development of sinophobia and its impact on the problem of national security.
