Strategic Thought

Abstract Soft power has traditionally been viewed by China’s leaders as a fulcrum of international competition. The foundations were laid in the 1990s by Jiang Zemin’s Going Out Strategy (Chinese: 走出去战略; pinyin: Zǒuchūqū Zhànlüè) which encouraged Chinese enterprises to venture overseas to capture new markets. Soft power, however, has much older traditions dating back to the Warring States (Chinese: 戰國時代; pinyin: Zhànguó Shídài, 475–220 BC). It is from this era that China draws its theory and praxis of soft power, which it frames as “Cultural Soft Power,” literally meaning “Civilizational Soft Power” (Chinese: 文化软实力; pinyin: wén huà ruǎn shí lì). Drawing mostly on Chinese philosophical and strategic thought, this paper discusses the conceptual bases of Chinese soft power, examines the values and tools that shape it, how they are applied in Africa, as well as their limitations. The study finds that “Cultural Soft Power” is the thrust behind China’s strategic engagements in Africa which aim to generate sustained African support for Beijing’s vision to transform global governance institutions and norms. The Confucian concepts of “appeal” and “attraction” are central to Chinese soft power thought which is premised on the assumed uniqueness of Chinese culture and civilization and therefore the Chinese development model. This lies at the heart of the ideological alternative China is promoting on the world stage and its approach to strategic competition. Africa is a vitally important foundation in this quest.

The Belt And Road

Summary China’s growing confidence on the world stage under the leadership of President Xi Jinping is reflected in the country’s more active, vocal and, lately, even ‘wolf warrior’ diplomacy. It is also clearly visible in China’s public diplomacy approach, where priorities have shifted from advertising Chinese culture as the country’s major source of soft power to promoting China’s models of domestic and global governance. The Chinese government proudly presents policies such as the Belt and Road Initiative and, more recently China’s approach to the COVID-19 pandemic, as improvements in global governance or sometimes even as Chinese ‘gifts’ to the world. This article argues that under President Xi, the content and form of China’s public diplomacy have changed. China’s public diplomacy has hardened, it is more strongly controlled by the Chinese Communist Party and the content of China’s public diplomacy messages have become more political.

The idea that China’s culture is tied up with its place in the modern world has persisted since the Opium Wars. Chinese culture is highly valued around the world in terms of literature, films, artists, and ideas. The desire to find a culture that is both modern and derived from Chinese inspirations continues to drive Chinese artists’ ambitions. ‘Is Chinese culture modern?’ considers cultural progress and the international reception of China’s writers, artists, architects, and film-makers. During the 20th century, China tended to absorb cultural norms from around the world. To some extent, this trend is being reversed and China is beginning to project out cultural influence (or ‘soft power’).

Since the reform and open policy, foreign cultures and cultural industries have taken root and sprouted in China. There are more and more audience groups in China.

Today, with the economic globalization, multi polarization of international politics and more frequent exchanges among countries around the world, how to make our own culture and cultural industry occupy a place in the national spiritual world, and play out the signboard of “Chinese culture”, make Chinese culture and cultural industry “blossom everywhere”, and make more and more people in the world identify with Chinese culture and culture Industry will eventually build China into a socialist cultural superpower with strong economy and technology. There is still a long way to go. In this paper, we will discuss the potential and problems of cultural development in China.
