Soft power of China

The soft power of the People's Republic of China is the indirect and non-military influence of the country that can be observed outside the country around the world. While soft power as a concept can be summarized as "get others to do your bidding" without resorting to hard power, it has been argued that the People's Republic of China uses a different approach (especially in developed countries) to "get others to stop harming your image" which is more in line with its domestic policies.
