Oh，I see. Art illiteracy = strong mind. The people who never watch film/listen music/read novel must be strongest bunch in the world right？
Don't worry about art illiteracy; you need to worry about your actual illiteracy. My examples clearly pointed out how different people react to seeing the same thing and you mistook it to mean that some people don't see it while others do... illiteracy.
"Like" has no meaning，really？ Why do you think big corporations，celebrities，public figures care so much about PR？After all they are rich and powerful，they are the one possess "hard power” in society. So why bother this "soft power" PR things if there is no meaning of being "liked" by the public?
Companies and celebrities need to be liked because the relationship that defines them is one of seller to patron. The major relationship that countries are defined by is one of partnership or rival. So your analogy is broken like your literacy. A more proper analogy would be boxers caring, or definitely NOT caring if their rival boxers in the ring "like" them. Or if we were to use your analogy, we can ask, do Burger King and MacDonald or Sams Club and Costco care if they like each other? Do Khabib and MacGregor care they they like each other?
The Mongol was all about hard power，and was able to beat everyone into submission. But I doubt that hard power earned them respect or admire.
You doubt wrong. It is impossible to not respect or admire Mongols or anyone in a society where they dominate over you. It doesn't mean that you don't have aspirations to overcome them, as people dream of besting their idols all the time, but strength demands respect.
The leader was influenced by the people, and the people was influenced by cool cartoons and dramas
LOLOL Only stupid people are influenced by "cool cartoons and dramas." Those people cannot even separate real life from fiction. Nobody listens to them. When they talk, strong-minded people tell them to shut up and sit down and they do it because they have no power to resist anything they see. "He just bossed me around! He's just like Senpai in the cartoon! Respect!" LOL Those people will never amount to anything in any country.
I don't see Japan or Korea "active interference" around the global，yet Japanese and Korean people are being liked in many countries. If it is not due to soft power then what is it？
By being cute cuddly little dogs to the Western order. China is a wolf that challenges Western domination. Japan and Korea submit to it. People like those that submit to them, not those who challenge them. How can this be difficult for you to understand?
But also, like I said, Japanese and Koreans have very good etiquette while Chinese are known to be poorly behaved on vacation, which is what the CCP wants to fix. Unfortunately, they used "soft power" and confused the less intelligent people.
"There is nothing more expensive than something free"，ever heard of such proverb？
Proverbs don't mean anything if you cannot apply them correctly. A guy was handing out energy drinks from a new company; I took one, drank it, forgot what company it is, and never looked for it again. How expensive was that to me? Proverb broken. Use your own words to argue.
Again，what's the threshold of coercion or sanction？Are you going to sanction a country just because they don't like you or don't like your merchandise？I don't think so
If people aren't buying your merch because they suck, then you need to make better things. But again, if a country isn't buying your things because of market distortion on their side, then you put tariffs or non-tariff barriers to stop their things from being bought by your people. That is economic hard power. There is no "like", so that part is finished... again. Desperate begging salesmen trying "soft power" for unattractive products don't make sales; strong confident salesmen with a competitive product that the consumers need will make sales. All hard power.
No，it won't，the same way it won't deter all those Thai drama fans from visit Thailand.
Well, I was being sarcastic but since you crawled up into a hole I sarcastically asked if you would crawl into, then the conclusion would be that Chinese "soft power" is already far greater than any country's other than America's, which is fine because that is also the hard power ranking.
How many is "many" ? Prove it that plastic surgery people constitute the majority in Chinese tourists in Korea
It's literally a statistic you can Google if you want to but you missed the main point. The point is that you conflated visiting a country to worship, while in fact, it's actually just a thing that people with disposable income do. Chinese people visit Korea, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, and Americans visit Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, etc... nobody in their right mind has any worship; it's just a vacation. I don't worship the hotels I stay at or the restaurants I eat at; but it seems to be a very difficult concept for sheep-mentality people.
If you have cancer you will likely die，but if you die does not necessarily mean you had cancer. The same logic applys to culture worship and oversea trip. If you worship Korean culture you will likely visit Korea，but you visit Korea does not necessarily mean you worship Korean culture. You said it yourself，you did not visit Korea because of culture worship.
Right... so you cannot point to tourism numbers in Korea to indicate Chinese worship because you cannot conflate tourism to worship. This is you kicking your own ass this time. And if you do conflate them, I will point out that China is the second most visited country in the world after the US. You have nowhere to go in an argument that China has poor "soft power."
China is the same. The number of foreign visitors is not an indicator of culture worship. I know nothing about African culture，but I'd like to visit Africa one day just to see the wild life.
LOL So which way do you want to play it? Tourism = worship meaning Chinese culture is worshipped or Tourism =/= worship, in which case your whole pont is moot? Or........ were you hoping to use a double standard and say that Chinese culture is not worshipped because toursim isn't worship but Korean culture
is because there, tourism is worship? LOL
It's pretty bad that you didn't see this logical pit you dug yourself into while you were writing this...
