Chinese Soft Power Ends, Ways, and Means

Abstract

China's economic success since its "opening up in the 1980s under Deng Xiaoping has been one of historic proportions. The changing role of soft power in Chinese foreign policy over the last forty years demonstrates how China views itself and its ability to influence world events. In order to accomplish its main foreign policy objective of today-becoming a modem socialist state by 2049-it must maintain access to raw materials, energy, and outside markets and create (or maintain) a stable and cooperative international political environment in which it can undertake its business activities. China's foreign policy under Deng compared to foreign policy under Xi depict changes in both scale and method of China's soft power exports compared to its perceptions of itself relative to the international world order.
