China’s Soft Power

Posted by Matt in January 13th, 2008

Much that is discussed about China’s foreign policy and security posture these days revolves around military matters-warships and fighter planes bought from Russia, 1300 missiles aimed at Taiwan, and the latest maneuvers of the People’s Liberation Army.

There’s another side to China’s emerging might, however, what some pundits call “soft power” or “smiling diplomacy” or the “charm offensive.” Most of that effort is the application of China’s expanding economy to trade, aid, and investment to achieve political ends.

Welcome to China
China has one of the world's oldest people and continuous civilizations, consisting of states and cultures dating back more than six millennia. It has the world's longest continuously used written language system, and is the source of such major inventions as what the British scholar and biochemist Joseph Needham called the "four great inventions of Ancient China": paper, the compass, gunpowder, and printing. Historically China's cultural sphere has been very influential in East Asia as a whole, with Chinese religion, customs, and writing system being adopted, to varying degrees, by its neighbors Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. ======== Beijingboy1985's E-mail: hsiaowei.sun@gmail.com

China Olympics Opening Ceremony girl was lip-syncing
Faking it at the Olympics 2:06 A little girl and her song captivated millions of viewers during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. But what they saw was not what they heard. Games organizers confirm that Lin Miaoke, who performed "Ode to the Motherland" as China's flag was paraded Friday into Beijing's National Stadium, was not singing at all. Lin was lip-syncing to the sound of another girl, 7-year-old Yang Peiyi, who was heard but not seen, apparently because she was deemed not cute enough. "The reason was for the national interest," said Chen Qigang, the ceremony's musical director, in a state radio interview. "The child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feeling and expression. ... Lin Miaoke is excellent in those aspects." The decision was made at the...

China's Olympics legacy -- 25 August 2008
The 29th Olympiad has officially ended in Beijing, putting politics once again at the forefront. The US says it is disappointed the recently-concluded games did not bring more "openness and tolerance" to China. But the International Olympic Committee argues that the Beijing Olympics would open the country up to the world. Al Jazeera's Tony Cheng reports a mixed verdict so far.

African China
The Evolution of African China Far from being the obvious, since launching himself into the mainstream music world about two years ago, Chinagoro, a.k.a African China, may have stood out as a dependable, yet emerging social crusader of great reckoning. With his name almost becoming a house-hold name in many homes across Africa, African China parades a talent, very prodigious and could be described as "rare and different from what Ojo would refer to above as 'playing the music of destructive values." While storming the music scene with an uncommon tempo, Chinagoro recreates with his craft, the images of reggae singers of yesteryears. With the unceremonious exit of the likes of Majek Fashek, Ras Kimono and The Mandators, all Nigeria's past leading reggae singers, Chinagoro's entrance into...
