What's new

The new war epic film is a masterpiece ''The battle at lake Changjin''

Totally disagree with you. Your definition of soft power is different from mine. Soft power doesnt just mean entertainment or pop culture. If u really mean by that south Korea shall be a global soft power giant. But when comes to international decision or even UN matter. SK is no where to be seen or even heard.

Let me repeat again. Nobody stick with US just becos they think US is more righteous , more freedom or more human right. That is self delusion. Just ask them what human right, freedom and righteous USA bring to Syria, Iraq and Libya... Those US fanboy will be at loss of words.

If US is a poor country with no money and no technology. Nobody wants to be their lapdog.
I said "inspiration", not entertainment or pop culture. If you cannot read before you respond, please don't respond. That would be wasting time for both of us.

If you don't know what inspiration is, then I have no word for you.
 
I didn't claim anything but I do agree that China doesn't have much soft power. I always believe that China has higher influence nowadays but I don't believe that China brings more inspirations, which is where the soft power lies.

Don't mistaken influence with inspiration. A rich person has higher influence but not everyone looks up to him. An enlightened monk can inspire many people though he has no money. That is soft power. Of course, materialists would never understand this.

I agree with this soft power is key and specifically having alliances is even more key but both go a long way.

SK soft power is insignficiant and Kdramas are niche in reality

You know zero about soft power. Stop making things up. Can SK weld UN power like China? The one who knows nothing are you.

Embrace your own understanding of "soft power" then. Just don't expect everyone would agree with you.

Tell me, why UN and 95% of countries recognised one China policy.
 
The whole world against China? Which world? The world which the US want to show you?

Australia is whiteman racist country. Doesn't matter China presents truth or not to them.

When UN vote on Xinjiang matter. More than half the countries voted in favour of China measure implement in Xinjiang including Muslim authority country like Saudi.

I don't know where u got the idea China lacks soft power?


Are u sure it doesn't confirm to real history? U mean US soldiers wallop all PVA troops and China throw in the towel at chosun reservoir? Where did u learn your history? YouTube?

Considering how many people even in countries that have a positive or neutral relationship with China have ill feelings towards China and wish harm against China, it is proof that the Zionist media's propaganda campaign is working and it is illustrative of the power of the media. You don't believe me? Look at how many anti-China people there are on this forum, even Pakistanis and Greeks, countries who have positive relationships with China.

He probably just thinks that it is all money. So, when China is richer, people will flock to it. That is it. That is all there is about soft power. Nice and simple. :)

Yes, no one would give a crap about American culture if it were poor like India.

Bollywood is a prime example of "soft power" that does nothing. India is poor which is why Bollywood cannot sneak a single film into global box office charts which is one of the few ways to quantify "soft power." People pay to ingest your culture.

Korean "soft power" couldn't stop people from treating their citizens with the same racist contempt as Asians with "no soft power."

BTW, this Korean girl's pandering to white racists until it finally became too much is basically a parable for the white supporters in these so-call Asian allies of the West. It is disturbing and disgusting:

You need both. Hard power and soft power. America has both. China has only hard power and has struggled trying to develop soft power. In addition, the US is using its soft power dominance to smear China, which China has been largely defenseless against.

As for South Korea, it is much more successful than India because it is a rich country and has a developed soft power base. Of course, it can't solve all racism but there are hordes of non-Asian women now that are vying for Korean boyfriends, so yes, it does do wonders. South Korea is viewed in a very positive light in most countries as opposed to China.

Not really. Wealth can certainly help put on a nice presentation of the culture but it is just the presentation. It may serve as a side evidence of some excellent parts of a culture but it isn't guaranteed. Most people are materialistic for sure. They, like Beast, would naturally flock to the rich. I don't blame them.

The "soft power" comes more from ideas or ideologies. These are the things that inspire people. If "soft power" simply comes from wealth, that literally means all people have no principles, no spines, cannot tell good from bad, and are easily blinded by the glitters of wealth. That is an insult and probably reflects less about other people than the one who possesses such an idea.

Most people attack KPOP bands by calling them gay "Chinese" boys. I'm tired of white frat boys yelling "BTS" in my face.

If things were so positive, I would gladly be mistaken for Korean but unfortunately not really.

These high-minded ideas came from a society that enslaved black people and committed genocide on the Soiux, Mohawks, Commaches and countless other people who were the original inhabitants of their land.

If they were not wealthy, people would have called out this glaring hypocrisy a long time ago.

Yeah right. Complain however you want about Kpop, there is no denying that for once in modern history, there are hordes of non-Asian women who are vying for Asian men now because of Korean media. Meanwhile Chinese media has done jack shit to defend China against the constant smears and fake news.

That's exactly my point. Despite the fact that Western imperialism have committed unspeakable evil against all peoples of the world, most people worldwide would still easily accept and swallow anti-China propaganda generated by the West. This demonstrates the power of the media.

Well, I hope you are getting those KPOP girls. I was Shang Chi at a Halloween party Saturday night that was 60/40 mix between white/asian. Not one asian guy showed up as a KPOP boyband member with makeup and lipstick to impress the large amount of white girls there. Maybe we're foolish not take advantage of this but the fear of being called a fag and a ladyboy was probably greater than the temptation of nabbing a KPOP girl.
