On the Global attractiveness of Chinese culture, deadline: THURSDAY April 7, 6 p.m.

Please read chapter 11 of the text book, then answer the following questions:

Question 3: What strategy would you develop to make China the global leader of the hearts? To move China to the top right corner of the chart (clean and free) to be attractive to the whole world and that the world welcomes China to take over global leadership and even Taiwan province would be happy to reunite and that everybody wants to read the Book of Songs, Li Bai’s poems and the Red Chamber Dreams?

Question 4: What is the definition of hard power, soft power and smart power?

To answer this question 4, I highly recommend you search online for the pdfs of Joseph Nye on soft power (e.g. Nye 1990, Joseph S. Nye, Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American Power, 1990. Nye/Wang 2009, Joseph S. Nye/Jisi Wang, „Hard decisions on soft power“, in: Harvard International Review, http://hir.harvard.edu/agriculture/hard-decisions-on-soft-power).

Give full play to Confucius Institutes and Hanban, and establish a powerful and righteous image of China in the international stage.

Question 4: What is the definition of hard power, soft power and smart power?

Hard power: military and economic dominance

Soft power: things determining the appeal of a nation’s language, lifestyle/mentality, values and culture

Smart power: things similar to think tank. --Zhou Zhe (talk) 15:13, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
