Talking about
CHINA AND THE SOFT-POWER with prof Sofia Graziani and Giulia Sciorati
The Chinese international activism and the soft power strategy
In recent years the Chinese leadership has developed a growing awareness of the relevance of soft power to promote a positive image of China abroad and improve the status of "great power" in the international system. Soft power has become the privileged means to increase China's cultural influence in the world and tackle the spread in the West's perception of China as a threat to the post-Cold War global order. During the meeting we will try to understand the complexity of the Chinese strategy, with regards to the spreading of the soft power of China in Africa. More

The unusual aspects of this immense country, seen with special lenses, through intellectual curiosity and love for the Chinese people and for the Chinese history, offer unusual perspectives in the experience of three travelers who have visited China since the 80ies: a writer, a travel agent and a university professor.
