Introduction. The purpose of the paper is determined, first of all, by the relevance of the pedagogical problem, which has found itself in the current time of expanding the space of international cooperation in the field of education, including between the countries of the Asian region in the far East. All major universities of Russia (Far Eastern Federal University, Pacific State University, Amur State University and others) annually accept foreign students, most of whom come from China to study various technical and humanitarian specialties. Training in the field of artistic enamel is a special kind of international cooperation, because it combines many matters of ethnic, psychological, pedagogical nature, requiring knowledge of the historical and cultural character of the traditions of education and its state both in China and in Russia. Below we are talking about what historical, cultural, ideological, ethno-psychological concepts filled the space of international contacts in the educational process of studying the ancient art of artistic enamel. The formation of a socially-oriented market economy in China, its rapid development and increasing influence on all processes of business interaction in the world have led to increased interest in the study of the phenomenon of Chinese culture, including one of its areas - applied fine arts. This can explain the fact that in recent years, China’s contacts with Russia in the field of education have significantly expanded due to the choice of new professional areas. Recently, the need to formulate new theoretical and practical approaches to the study of interaction between Russia and China, which have distinct cultural and historical features, has become increasingly obvious and relevant. In this regard, it is extremely important to find the most optimal model for Russian-Chinese interaction and cooperation. The history of the formation of Russian-Chinese cultural and educational ties, their development, stages, trends and features of interaction is a topical theoretical and applied problem not only of the General history, Oriental studies and international relations, but also of the educational systems of both countries. The study of current trends in improving the international educational space, ways and means of optimizing the multicultural educational process in universities that teach students of different nationalities and professions with a long historical past in both China and Russia is a problem of political and socio-cultural significance for both countries. Methodology and methods of the research. The object of this study is the international educational process in higher education institutions of the Russian Far East. The subject of the research is pedagogical conditions for optimizing the process of teaching decorative and applied arts to Chinese students in a Russian University, taking into account the classical traditions of Chinese education (historical and philosophical aspect). To solve the tasks set in the study, General scientific methods of theoretical analysis of research and publications were used. The results of the research predispose to conclusions of this nature: in order to achieve the quality of professionalization of Chinese students studying decorative and applied arts in the far Eastern Russian University, teachers should remember such an important point as the ethno psychosociocultural characteristics of their personality, formed in the centuries-old process of the ancient state with its unique history and philosophy. Conclusion. The study, which was the reason for writing the article, allows us to say that in the process of mastering art, the highest human values are affirmed in the human mind by translating his/her activity into making the beautiful, the eternally alive, equally valuable for different cultures and nationalities.
