This week, host Elisa is joined by Joshua Kurlantzick, Senior Fellow for Southeast Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations. Together they discuss China's most recent attempts at soft power influence, most notably through the nations media presence across the globe. How successful have China's efforts been at influencing politics in foreign countries? What exactly do these efforts look like? And how do their reasons for wielding soft power influence compare to ours?
