Description
How is China trying to build soft power and win global admiration? Rana Mitter examines how Beijing uses history, national identity, and its role in international institutions to strengthen its influence.
From China’s place in World War II and the founding of the United Nations to Xi Jinping’s call for a more “lovable” China, Mitter explores the difference between possessing economic and military power and inspiring others to follow. He also considers China’s ambitions alongside the cultural appeal of the United States, Japan, and South Korea.
