The Horizon Audiofiles - Ep 096 - China’s Smart Power Play For Hearts And Minds

The People’s Republic of China’s contemporary power strategy
extends beyond military modernisation. It integrates overt
strategic signalling, digitally amplified emotional storytelling,
and Confucian moral framing into a unified hybrid model of
influence. Through spectacles such as the 2025 Victory Day
Parade, curated soldier narratives, and globally celebrated
athletic achievements, Beijing projects deterrence while
cultivating legitimacy. Understanding this fusion is essential
for policymakers navigating twenty-first–century competition.
