The Chinese Influence in Europe

Abstract

China is using its Strategic Communication and Public Diplomacy to undermine the political and strategic relationship between the USA and European countries. Chinese leadership, disregarding attempts from other countries to encourage China to liberalize and improve domestic freedom, is planning to reach a strategic national objective: to become the new global cultural and economic center. One piece of this strategy is to divide Western Europe and penetrate it economically. To be effective, this strategy leverages a "soft power" campaign that encompasses Chinese Public Diplomacy and a complete set of communications techniques developed and coordinated through very different media channels.
