The diversification of global labor market demands has a serious impact on the goals, methods, forms, and content of teaching foreign languages to Chinese students in universities. Published in 2018, the first “National Quality Standards for Vocational Training of Bachelor Students in Multi-Disciplinary Universities of the Classical Type” are intended to lay down the normative basis and to provide practical recommendations on ensuring the quality of training Chinese young professionals in accordance with international standards of vocational training and strategic plans of the PRC leadership for creating an international transport corridor “One Belt – One Way”. The experience of organizing student learning according to the “specialization + foreign (Russian) language” model at the Guangdong University of Foreign Studies (Guangwai University) is presented in the article. As the results of the study show, this process is in line with the search for a balance between national standards and transnational requirements for the quality of student training and is aimed at improving the competitiveness of Chinese graduates with knowledge of the Russian language in the international labor market, primarily in the post-Soviet Eurasian space. In accordance with the plans of the PRC leadership, the new Silk Road will pass through the post-Soviet Eurasian space, uniting the East with the West.
