The smallest country in the island of Borneo
Bro patience is a virtue and I'm seeing it happening, an example are cars, last 5 years ago, most of us here hadn't heard of Geely, we thought its a Korean Ice cream brand BUT now like the Converse advert they're everywhere....lol
It may take a generation to change peoples perception BUT it is on the right track, what China must do is to continue its self development ,improved its quality of life and dammed the rest. RESULT is the best way to combat misinformation and most of them are losers anyway, jealous of other people success so it's just a waste of time to change their way of thinking.
And the richest, so maybe the Chinese approached is wrong, the country is fully develop so maybe cultural exchange is more appropriate.
Looks like the only way to fundamentally change this situation in many countries is by "decolonization" through top-to-bottom purgings of all pro-West political and financial elites, and replace them with pro-China ones - Alongside infiltrating and solifldifying the presence of Chinese influences across all levels of political, econonic and societal fabrics of the people's everyday lives in these countries.
Otherwise, I don't see how thing would massively improve for China, when the West already has decades-worth of head-starts in the "hearts-and-minds" domain in these countries.
The Rule Of The Jungle still very much alive today, as it was thousands of years ago.
That is why they should continue attacking the dollar, you can remove all the predators in the jungle, but if the jungle just regrows the predators will return from their hiding. Or you can just slowly but surely destroy or push back the jungle from your border.
I don’t know about that! I think that, if China would focus more on soft-power -as some, here, have suggested, and would study the methodologies of Imperial/Colonial information management/influence peddling, they could use multi-media “capitalism” to affect attitudinal modifications rather quickly. Just look at how successful South Korea has been in the entertainment domain!
it is only when you have sufficient hard power to deter violence and coercion that competing in soft power becomes meaningful.
yes, sometimes good deeds may not be appreciated.
but it doesn't mean China should stop trying.
China is big and rich enough to continue to offer such medical care to people in need. Goodwill and kind actions eventually trump deliberate disinformation.
I am genuinely puzzled by this. Is Lula making some weird power play or is he just a plain imbecile ?
This conniving little rat ought to be put in his place !
