Please forgive me first. -- I did not mean to offend you at all.
Thanks so much brother for your reply.
I totally agree,
cultivating ( strong soft power ) in western Anti--CHINA nations are
absolutely useless
and just wasting precious resources.
Instead, .... ...
We shall strive to
CULTIVATE ( strong soft power )
in (
well known and proven )
Pro--CHINA nations such as
( RUSSIA, PAKISTAN, IRAN, CAMBODIA, LAOS, THAILAND, PHILIPPINE, SERBIA, BELARUS, CUBA,
all Central Asia nations, IRAQ, SYRIA, and so on ... ... )
I happen to travel extensively in many nations from 3 different continents.
It was obvious to me that while PRC hard power is rising dramatically, ... ...
but the PRC soft power is declining rapidly too.
===
(
let's assume >> PRC GDP is = 75+ % of Global GDP, and americese usa has imploded and gone.
usa has been fractured as many little tiny states ), ... ...
IMHO, no matter how strong PRC economically and militarily
PRC and Chinese
can NOT prosper and thrive alone globally.
PRC can NOT have military presents on every nation guarding PRC citizens wellbeing on other nations.
If PRC and Chinese soft power is low, then PRC and Chinese will eventually suffer repeated terrorists attacks
backed and sponsored by by PRC previous enemies (
the remnants of usa neocons ).
Then, we PRC will become the new Hegemonic Evil americese.
I am certain 98+ % Chinese hate to become the new Hegemonic Evil americese.
Even if we concentrate on commercial activities alone,
then we will become the
hated FERENGI (
money driven Star Trek race ) in the universe.
Thus, ... ...
Roughly speaking, ( PRC soft power ) need to be at least equal to ( 75+ % of our PRC hard power ).

My method of differentiating who is Pro China poster or Hidden Anti-China poster is very simple and quick.
If taken (
at Face value ), their content is beneficial to PRC, then I THANK their post.
If taken (
at Face value ), their content is damaging to PRC, then I attacked them.
Presently, IMHO, ... ...
PRC so many problems with americese usa is because we PRC have to many ( soft weak HanJian in MOFA ) and ( soft weak HanJian in PRC Central Propaganda department ), and we have been
wasting precious resources cultivating PRC soft power in the wrong place (
western Anti-China nations, such as usa, uk, aussie, france, Israel, Turkey, and so on )
If we can eliminate or squeeze all these HanJian, we can
start to be proactive and attack americese usa -- globally from economic front all the way to the military front. -- We do NOT have to
be passive and always reactive when facing americese usa. -- Thus, we PRC need to have a reasonably ( strong soft power ) in true Pro CHINA nations to achieve this proactive goal.
