How China’s soft power is rewriting Asian culture (www.japantimes.co.jp)

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.

Nah it’s literally all bad.

And this comes from Japantimes, a country that said fuck you to indigenous people and replaced them with the majority ethnic group. (To be fair, that’s pretty much every country’s history — Fuck Stateism).
