anything other than that is just BS. But China has enough hardpower, now time to invest seriously and smartly on softpower. Xi's crack down on entertainment industry actually not helping at all. Chinese entertainment industry actually begin to bloom and gaining fandom in asia, especially south east asia, not to mention in taiwan, which is a good softpower influence. Then Xi started to crack down and all those soft power turned into mockery.
