China’s Public Diplomacy: Main Vectors ()
ABSTRACT
This paper examines China’s public diplomacy components and content in general, discussing
some of the main vectors of China’s public diplomacy, cultural and political influence by the way of
“soft power”. The paper does not review PRC’s public diplomacy politics toward specific countries
or regions. In the 60-plus years since the birth of the Peoples Republic of China in 1949, and in the
last 3 decades in particular, China’s national strength has grown constantly and its role on the
world stage has become more important. In this term, brilliant achievements in the field of diplomacy
have been made. But still China faces new tasks and challenges. Because of its development
and influence in the world, it is a necessary step for China to take to strengthen its PD (public diplomacy) in both domestic and foreign context.
