I think that one of the greatest misunderstandings many people have about soft power is that they conflate the number of barking dogs with potency in soft power. If your product is good or if you have the hard power to back it up, barking dogs do have a complementary effect. But if your product sucks or you don’t have hard power to back it up, barking dogs are actually detrimental to your soft power.
Sir what I know of soft power is the power of dependency? China is the manufacturer of the World surely that hold something significant, the US financial and entertainment while Canada, Australia, Venezuela, Iran Brazil Saudi Arabia and Russia resources. Indonesia and Turkey both hold geostrategic real estate that's it, the rest are irrelevant. Europe is sliding to irrelevancy, Japan and SK advantage are being erode and are having a demographic problem while India with its exploding population are a menace to all especially for her neighbors.
This is what I love about Chinese indie developers coming out of the woodwork and showing the world what they can do, I find that a lot of western/Japanese developers have gotten too comfortable with what's tried and true, making new games that're very similar to the last one to not rock the boat too much. Even though they may be a bit more janky more often than not, the Chinese games always have a flavor of originality to it in terms of mechanics that make them interesting.
