First of all, this is not an example of what you said before; you said a game that people could not tell was Chinese winning them over before they discover that it's Chinese. And I said that they pose no cultural relevence to China. This one you show is unmistakably Chinese from the first scene so it is not a proper example. However, let's roll with it anyway.Playing game from China which shows Chinese culture might make people to learn more history of China and lead to better understanding. The target is younger generation. There is a saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks". Example of game which hasn't released yet:
How many games and anime has Japan made flush with Japanese culture? Is Japan viewed positively or negatively in China and South Korea?
Why wouldn't someone really love the Chinese food they eat and be tempted to look up where its from and learn the culture? It's the same thing: people will use what they want from their enemies but will not love their enemies for it. Your extremely naivity in your fantastical conflict-less world view is pouring over to cloud your evaluation of the effects of products producing "soft/flaccid/limp" power. I eat Indian food; I drive a Japanese car; when I'm bored out of my mind, I play free American games on the computer maybe once every month or 2; it doesn't mean I like or even hold neutral opinions of any of those nations. I consider them all every bit as evil as if I'd never touched their products once. Americans feel that way about China as well or hatred towards China wouldn't be climbing as it is right now in the US and its puppet states. That's the real normal world that we live in.
Why? Who's going to dislike a game of a monkey beating shit up with his stick?Look at the likes and dislikes.
Almost did what? What time period caused you to misinterpret that as nearly a peaceful reunion? LOLIt is not impossible. China almost did it when Ma Ying-jeou was in office.
Like I said, my argument is founded on a plethora of reasons, none of which you can rebut, for why this definition and its founder are wrong. Your argument is only that it exists so it's good enough. The theory for the earth being flat also exists as its founder had first suggested and it was also backed by prominant scientists at the time. It's as correct as the soft power definition that you cling to.Here again. As long as I still prefer to use the founder's definition which already existed for decades and who is former assistant secretary of defense of US and professor from Harvard University, then we will keep have different definition of hard/soft power.
You asked how the ROC can be reunified and I said this way. I clearly meant that as a future scenerio for how. It's obviously not now as evidenced by the fact that it's not currently happening. Basic logic reasoning and English comprehension are required.You did underestimate, this is what you said before
Like I said, reading comprehension is needed. I said I cannot think of a country that has a POSITIVE public image in a nemesis nation. And you gave me an example of a country with a NEGATIVE public image in a nation that it does not have rivalries with. Did you fail to understand what I said or are you logically unable to comprehend the difference between what I said and what you did?Not really. US has negative public image in some Europe countries although they are not politically antagonistic rival nations.
Of course the US can have a negative image in any countries that don't lick American boots for survival. Any country capable of common sense seeing the atrocities America commits all over the world and doesn't actively use media propaganda to spin it to their citizens will and should have a negative image regarding the US for the horrible crimes that it factually commits.
