The purpose of this article is to research the influence of Western music upon musical culture in China and ascertain the position of modern Chinese musical art within the intercultural dialogue with Ukraine.

All these methods have allowed for in depth examination of the impact of Western music on Chinese musical tradition and assessment of the role played by modern Chinese musical art in cultural exchange between Ukraine and China. Novelty of this study is founded upon the examination of historical and contemporary aspects of Western musical traditions integrating into Chinese culture. The study proves the specific influence of Western music on Chinese musical culture and illustrates how the special synthesised forms of music have a precious enrichment impact on China’s education system and art-cultural infrastructure. The role of modern Chinese musical art in intercultural communication with Ukraine is also examined, and the potential for musical collaboration between the nations is taken into account. Conclusions. Contemporary Chinese musical art is an important component of intercultural dialogue, serving to maintain national identity while promoting mutual cultural enrichment. Western music has had a profound impact on Chinese musical culture, and this has resulted in the creation of distinctive hybrid musical styles that have significantly enriched China’s educational and cultural systems. Cultural and art initiatives, such as the ‘China-ASEAN Music Week,’ serve as instruments for deeper cultural exchange and cooperation among countries. The potential for cooperation between China and Ukraine in the field of musical arts can become one of the main drivers in the establishment of mutually beneficial relations, ensuring the preservation of national identity, and the enrichment of cultures in the Ukraine-China interaction.
