In recent years，Chinese systems and practices have become “explicit” studies in the international academic community，There are more and more overseas people learning Chinese language and culture，China’s soft bet365 games is increasingly attracting world attention。Issues surrounding the concept of soft bet365 games and its reconstruction in China as well as the construction of Chinese cultural soft bet365 games，Our reporter recently interviewed a professor at the Catholic University of Lille in France、Barthélémy Courmont, senior researcher at the French Institute of International Relations and Strategic Studies。

　　Soft bet365 games has strategic significance

　The concept of “soft bet365 games” was developed by American international politics scholars、Proposed by Joseph Nye, Professor at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in 1990。In the book "Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American bet365 games"，Pointed out by Joseph Nye，The international system created during the bipolar period accelerated the transformation and promoted the emergence of a new form of bet365 games。He calls this new form of bet365 games soft bet365 games，But did not give an exact definition，The following decades，Joseph Nye continues to revise and improve his soft bet365 games theory。

Culmon said in an interview with this reporter，Joseph Nye’s simplest take on soft bet365 games、The most appropriate definition should be "because of its attractiveness，The ability to change the wishes of others”，Hard bet365 games refers to “the ability to change the behavior of others”。Joseph Nye divided the sources of soft bet365 games into three major categories，That is culture、Values、Domestic Politics and Foreign Policy。After the soft bet365 games theory was proposed，The U.S. government adopted Joseph Nye’s views，Gradually implement soft bet365 games strategy。Culmon expression，For the United States，Values ​​are the most important part of its soft bet365 games，The second is pop culture。

The implementation of soft bet365 games strategy is mainly to create a more attractive national image，Therefore，Countries continue to use various resources to enhance their influence。Kulmon thinks，The definition of soft bet365 games should be based on what the country can do，Rather than what soft bet365 games itself is。Although the soft bet365 games construction of some countries is more effective due to their rich cultural resources and "natural" attraction，But there are also some countries with "limited resources"，But its soft bet365 games strategy is very effective and competitive，such as South Korea and Qatar。The success of these countries seems to prove，Any country can improve its national image and influence through effective soft bet365 games strategies。

　Soft bet365 games school of thought

1990s，The concept of soft bet365 games has begun to attract attention in Chinese intellectual circles。1989，Wu Chunqiu, then a researcher at the International Institute of Technology and Economics at the Development Research Center of the State Council, proposed the concept of soft national bet365 games in the article "The Theory of Comprehensive National bet365 games and Its Enlightenment for my country's Development Strategy"。1992，He Xiaodong and others translated Joseph Nye's pioneering work on soft bet365 games theory into Chinese "Can the United States Lead the World?"，Published by China Military Translation Publishing House。

Chinese academic circles have formed multiple schools of thought around the concept of soft bet365 games。Kulmon analyzed it，Among these different schools of thought，"Cultural School"，Also known as the "Shanghai School"，Quickly becoming the dominant school on the concept of soft bet365 games。Supporters of the “cultural faction” think，Ancient history and traditional culture are the main elements of China’s cultural soft bet365 games。Therefore，To enhance China’s attractiveness on the world stage，The "Cultural School" advocates promoting Chinese culture at home and abroad。

In addition to the "cultural faction"，“Cultural Secondary School” is also an important theoretical school，This school follows the vision of the “Shanghai School”，But more emphasis is placed on the importance of cultural factors，Believes that “soft bet365 games is culture”。In addition, there are "School Culturally Critical" and "Cultural Pluralism"，These schools more advocate the soft bet365 games strategy of cultural centrism，Emphasis on nationalist discourse。Other schools that believe that domestic politics and diplomatic strategy are the core of soft bet365 games，Regarded as a "Political School"。Culmon expression，These different academic schools have a certain influence on the Chinese government’s redefinition of Joseph Nye’s concept of soft bet365 games。

　　The status of culture in soft bet365 games varies from country to country

With the deepening of academic research on soft bet365 games，The Chinese government has gradually begun to pay attention to the construction of soft bet365 games，Emphasis on using China’s excellent traditional culture to enhance the country’s cultural soft bet365 games。The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was submitted，“We must adhere to the direction of advanced socialist culture... and improve the country’s cultural soft bet365 games”，The concept of soft bet365 games was written into the Party document for the first time。Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China，General Secretary Xi Jinping has given a higher positioning to the importance of cultural soft bet365 games，“Improving the country’s cultural soft bet365 games，Related to the "Two Centenary Goals" and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation"。The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China set the overall goal of China’s development in 2035，Emphasis on “the country’s cultural soft bet365 games has been significantly enhanced”；In "Promoting Cultural Confidence and Self-Strength，Chapter "Creating New Glory of Socialist Culture"，Emphasis on “continuously improving the country’s cultural soft bet365 games and Chinese cultural influence”。

It is worth mentioning，The concept of soft bet365 games is generally not used alone in China，Instead, add the word "culture" before soft bet365 games，Highlights the core position of culture in soft bet365 games，Joseph Nye only regards culture as one of the elements of soft bet365 games。Kulmon thinks，This is because Chinese civilization has huge cultural potential，Various cultural traditions、Writing and calligraphy、Art、Cultural Heritage、History and other resources make China unique in the world of civilizations。Other countries are different，Culture is not the main feature of their soft bet365 games。

Culmon said，China’s soft bet365 games construction is mainly reflected in actively promoting the construction of national image from the public diplomacy and cultural levels，This has enhanced China’s influence around the world, especially in developing countries，At the same time, the dissemination of China’s excellent traditional culture at home and abroad has also enhanced the cohesion and national pride of the Chinese people。So China’s soft bet365 games strategy can be said to be both foreign policy，Also a domestic political strategy。

　　Continuously improve the country’s cultural soft bet365 games

Kurmon agrees with the multiple goals of China’s soft bet365 games strategy proposed by Li Mingjiang, associate professor at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore: First，Correction of misunderstandings and misunderstandings about China，Especially related content reported by foreign media；Second，Promote the international image of the Chinese government；Third，Dispel the excessive influence of foreign culture；Fourth，Refuting the China Threat Theory；Fifth，Maintain a peaceful and stable surrounding environment。

From Culmon’s point of view，The opening of Confucius Institutes around the world is a good example of China improving its cultural soft bet365 games。Since the opening of the first Confucius Institute in Seoul, South Korea in 2004，As of July 2023，China has established 552 Confucius Institutes in 154 countries (regions)，Cumulatively taught Chinese to tens of millions of students from all over the world、Understand Chinese culture and provide services，Promoting the development of international Chinese education、Promoting Chinese culture to “go global”、Played an important role in improving China’s national image，Become an important platform for the world to understand China。

In addition to the construction of the Confucius Institute，Held “China Year” in different countries，Host the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games、Important international events such as the 2010 Shanghai World Expo are also important measures for China to enhance its cultural soft bet365 games。Culmon further pointed out，Joseph Nye believes that the economy should be part of hard bet365 games，China links soft bet365 games with economy。For example，The joint construction of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative not only enhances China’s image in the joint construction of countries，It also brings economic benefits to the joint construction of the country。

2023 is the 10th anniversary of the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative。As of October 2023，China has signed more than 200 cooperation documents on the Belt and Road Initiative with 152 countries and 32 international organizations。Communication around policy、Facility Connectivity、Unimpeded trade、Financial Financing、“Five Links” Cooperation with People-to-People Connectivity，The results of the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” have benefited more than 150 countries，Discuss, build and share together、Win-win cooperation、The concept of common development is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people，This initiative has become the most popular international public product and the largest international cooperation platform in the world today。

Culmon said，China’s soft bet365 games strategy is generally successful，And in order to further enhance the country’s influence and public diplomacy，Soft bet365 games construction will remain an important strategy for China。As the Chinese government continues to optimize its soft bet365 games strategy，The concept of “post-soft bet365 games” will become possible。
