The advantages and disadvantages of the isolated use of these models are highlighted. The experience and trends in the development of the system of training current teachers for work on moral education in China are presented. The directions of strengthening the training of future teachers for work on moral education in pedagogical universities of the People’s Republic of China and Russia are identified. A conclusion is made about the formation of a comprehensive system of training teachers in the field of moral education in China.
