This makes no sense. I just listed a bunch of examples of western soft power working as intended but you ignore it.
then you write this...
This is one of my central points. White people are gaining soft power through a lot of psychological warfare (as well as having real things that people want like wealth, technology, etc).
I kept saying the west wages psychological warfare and that China needs to fight back so they don't get brainwashed. I kept showing examples of how Chinese people are brainwashed by the west. You tell claim it's all bs and now you contradict yourself by saying white people brainwashed people (eg psychological warfare) to get soft power.
Do you even know what you are arguing for?

No. That was never my stance. I know hard power is the most important, but China's soft power is really awful. You can think of it like a product. Imagine you had a manufactured a great car (reliable, great range, safe, etc) but your branding was awful and it was named the nuclear cockroach. That's what China soft power is like. China is high substance and low style. It's a great nation that does so much of the right things but they are horrific at branding. I'm over simplifying because it's not just branding that they're awful at (there's so much more) but I want to keep this short.
The West is the opposite. Lower substance but higher style. They're able to scam lots of people in so many areas with superior branding.
My primary concern is not even with getting benefits of people to love China. China has much more pressing issues to address.
I'm mostly concerned with how Chinese people and Asians in general constantly get scammed by whites (immigrants running off to anti Asian hellscapes, STEM geniuses being stolen from us, Asian women being abused, Asian families being oblivious to racism/discrimination, Asia being flooded by child rapist esl "teachers", ripped off by western crap, Asia being infiltrated by fake western ngo Trojan horses, etc.).
The other giant concern is how incompetent Chinese media is at defending themselves against the west's constant psychological warfare attacks, atrocity propaganda, and other smear campaigns, etc.
