ROLE OF "SOFT POWER" IN CHINA PUBLIC DIPLOMACY

Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the increasing Chinese Soft power at the global level. In fact, given China’s fast growing economy and its increasing power in the international system, this country has prioritized public diplomacy in its foreign policy strategy. In recent years, China has sought to supplement its traditional use of hard power with soft power, and thus the Chinese government has paid more and more attention to public diplomacy. Chinese governments have previously demonstrated a limited understanding of public diplomacy, seeing it either as external propaganda or a form of internal public affairs, but this has not prevented China from becoming a skilled public diplomacy player.
