Soft power is increasingly central to China’s global dominance, no longer limited to economic prowess or military ambitions. This subtle yet key asset is reshaping Asian culture through the likes of food, film and online content.

China’s cultural exports are changing its image abroad, wielding a double-edged sword. On the one hand, they have the potential to foster unity and commonality across the vast Asian continent. On the other, they threaten regional uniqueness and act as a vehicle for Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda.

    No, it’s not “banned” but effectively it is. It’s illegal to proselytize. I mean, the Dalai Lama fled to India in the 50’s because of China. I won’t even get into Xinjiang’s labor camps. And no, race mixing is not a bad thing, but that is not what this is, especially when it’s done deliberately and forcefully. I like how you try to conflate race mixing with ethnic dilution. China aims to erase the Tibetan culture, not mix with it. There are way fewer Tibetans than Han. Magnitudes fewer. So fuck off with your weird sex shit and get off your high horse.

      Tibetan culture that’s being ‘erased’ is weird sex shit, sorry you want child sex slaves back, you’re not getting them.

      Secondly, and again, no, religion is not banned in China. There are more mosques in any tier one city than there are in NYC or LA. This is easily verifiable information.
