“…Since then, China has been devoting impressive efforts to enhance her soft power capabilities and her portrayal through the power of culture. Besides hard power, the Chinese government felt the need to portray a positive, peaceful and responsible image in world politics because of her aspiration to be a major global player (d 'Hooghe 2007) and in recent years, Beijing has quite artistically and successfully manipulated the channel of cultural diplomacy (Becard and Filho 2019). On account of its dedicated efforts, China has been included among the top 30 successful countries in the world that employ soft power according to Soft Power 30 report 2019 (McClory 2019).…”

“…There exists scholarship attentive to the domain of soft power, public diplomacy, and cultural diplomacy vis-à-vis China linking it with Middle Eastern nations (Ma 2010), ASEAN countries (Shuto 2018), Malaysia (Hrubý and Petrů 2019), USA (Becard and Filho 2019), and Pakistan (Gui and Arif 2016). The discourse has attempted to explore various dimensions of Chinese diplomacy, such as Confucius institutes (Hartig 2012(Hartig , 2014Liu 2019;Pan 2013;Shuto 2018); translation (Jiang 2021); museum diplomacy (Wang 2018); panda diplomacy (Hartig 2013), international higher education (Mulvey 2019), cinema (Becard and Filho 2019), image management (Hartig 2019) and engagement (Safdar 2021).…”

This study investigated the role of internet sources in depicting China's cultural soft image in Pakistan. Using mixed-method approach, it examined six Chinese culturally-oriented web sources and employed the conceptualization of Hartig (2016). Chinese cultural diplomacy in Pakistan was found engaging a wide range of actors, allowing for local actors to play active role, using modern media, and promoting cultural content interactively. The results suggest positive contribution of China Xinhua Urdu, Youlin Magazine, China Radio International Urdu and Pakistan China Institute internet sources. The Culture & Arts page of Chinese Embassy in Pakistan and Nihao-Salam websites were found dormant. The results found females, older and more educated individuals to be more likely to perceive positively-oriented experiences about Chinese culture than their counterparts. The study highlights that more enriched means and improved content on the internet sources should be brought to attract more male, younger, ordinary, and less educated internet users.

“…Конфуцијеви институти се могу основати у много различитих облика, с флексибилношћу да се прилагоде локалним потребама сваке земље, али се већина њих заснива на партнерству између три ентитета: Ханбана (седиште), кинеске институције (обично универзитет) и стране институције. 51 Постоје три модела отварања института и то: под потпуном контролом Ханбана, као заједнички подухват кинеског и домаћег универзитета или институти које искључиво воде домаћи универзитети по Ханбановој лиценци. 52 Полазећи од тога, Конфуцијеви институти се оснивају уз сарадњу с домаћим партнерским универзитетима по принципу да сваки универзитет може изабрати партнерски универзитет у Кини и они се заједно пријављују код Ханбана за отварање Конфуцијевог института.…”

“…58 China Radio International (CRI) емитује програм на више од шездесет језика. 59 65 Према појединим схватањима Иницијатива "Појас и пут" полако постаје кровна иницијатива, не само ширења економске моћи Кине већ и њене културне дипломатије, којој ова иницијатива служи као "концептуални кишобран", јер управо културна дипломатија постаје један од основних приступа кинеске дипломатске стратегије. 66 Сонг (Lilei Song) и Чићи (Zhao Qiqi) сматрају да се циљеви кинеске културне дипломатије у Централној и Источној Европи могу поделити на дугорочне, који подразумевају изградњу доброг имиџа Кине у јавности ових држава; средњорочне − који се односе на заједничку изградњу боље сарадње између Кине и Европе тако што ће земље Централне и Источне Европе бити повезница између Кине и Европске уније и оне краткорочне − који су усмерени ка томе да се неутрализују наративи о "кинеској претњи" у медијима у Европи.…”

The People's Republic of China has long sought to improve its image in the world through various and numerous forms of public and cultural diplomacy. Since China became one of the important and influential actors at international level, there was a need to change their perspective concerning others, but also to change the perspective of others concerning China. To achieve that, the People's Republic of China has begun to implement a proactive strategy of public and cultural diplomacy, which will promote it as a responsible great power and which will contribute to the formation of a positive narrative in international relations. The Chinese authorities, with several major initiatives involving economic, political and cultural strategies are seeking to improve and promote their country's image as a trusted political and economic partner. In the process, culture and cultural exchange are becoming one of China's most important tools for increasing its soft power. As these initiatives include the Western Balkans, and thus the Republic of Serbia, China, as elsewhere, uses various methods and instruments of cultural diplomacy, ranging from Confucius Institutes and academic cooperation to the internationalization of the Chinese media as well as Chinese presence in the media of these countries. Accordingly, the aim of the paper is to present and describe how these instruments work in the Western Balkans, and how they are applied in the Republic of Serbia in comparison with other countries in the region.

“…Para alcançar o objetivo de levar a China a reocupar um lugar de destaque dentro do sistema internacional, Xi Jinping está fazendo uso tanto de instrumentos tradicionais de poder conhecidos como hard power que de outros meios de fortalecimento de sua imagem no âmbito internacional que Joseph Nye batizou de soft power (ou poder suave, poder branco). De acordo com Becard (2019), o conceito de soft power criado pelo Nye em 1990 foi introduzido na China por Wang Huning que definiu este conceito como a cultura que representa o poder de um país. Com o passar do tempo, porém, debates acadêmicos na China apontaram à necessidade de traduzir o conceito de soft power de Nye para um conceito de soft power com características chinesas.…”
