Law & Politics Lyrics: Soft Power: China's Emerging Strategy in International Politics
Posted on 2010-04-14

More Mingjiang Li, "Soft Power: China's Emerging Strategy in International Politics" Soft power has become a very popular concept in international affairs. Ever since Joseph Nye coined it in 1990 in his book Bound to Lead,1 the term has frequently appeared in government policy papers, academic discussions, and the popular media. The intensity of the discussion of China’s soft power has been particularly notable. The concept of soft power provides a unique perspective not only on China’s current foreign and security policy but, more significantly, on the trajectory of China’s rise in the long term. In this introductory chapter, I will briefly discuss the ongoing debate about China’s soft power, critically review Nye’s conceptualization of soft power, propose a “soft use of power” approach, and outline the structure of the book. WORLDWIDE SPOTLIGHT ON CHINA’S SOFT POWER In China, soft power has become one of the most frequently used phrases among political leaders, leading academics, and journalists. What is most striking is the importance that Chinese leaders unequivocally assign to soft power in China’s international political strategy. Party Chief and President Hu Jintao, for instance, noted at the Central Foreign Affairs Leadership Group meeting on January 4, 2006 that the increase of China’s international status and influence depends both on hard power, such as the economy, science and technology, and defense, as well as on soft power, such as culture.2 Hu again highlighted soft power in his political report to the 17th Party Congress in October 2007, stressing the urgent need to build China’s cultural soft power to meet domestic needs and increasing international challenges.3 In the international arena, China’s soft power has also become a spotlight issue.4 The 2007 World Economic Forum held in Dalian, a coastal city in China’s Liaoning Province, addressed the issue of China’s soft power. The then Australian Labor Party leader Kevin Rudd presented Joshua Kurlantzick’s book Charm Offensive: How China’s Soft Power is Transforming the World to U.S. former President George W. Bush to remind him “why the U.S. has been losing influence.”5 The U.S. Congressional Research Service (CRS) conducted two comprehensive studies on China’s soft power influence in Asia, Africa, and Latin America in the first half of 2008, which clearly shows the concerns of U.S. leaders over China’s soft power.6 The widespread attention on China’s soft power notwithstanding, views on Beijing’s capability to “charm” the rest of the world and the implications of such a capability have been varied. The Chinese discourse on soft power has mainly focused on its sources and potential utility in Chinese foreign strategy. The mainstream assessment of the state of China’s soft power by Chinese analysts is that soft power is still a weak link in China’s pursuit for stronger comprehensive national power. It has lagged significantly behind the growth of the country’s hard power. Many strategists maintain that China is still not sophisticated in incorporating soft power into its strategic planning.7 However, other observers believe that the prospect of China’s soft power looks more sanguine because China has faired quite well in the international competition for soft power, since it boasts abundant sources of soft power such as culture, traditional philosophy, etc.8 Not all books ... appear on the homepage.
