CHINA-'SOFT POWER' : CONFUCIOUS INSTITUTES

A commentary written on January 31, 2018 in the People’s Daily Foreign Edition’s Wang Hailou (望海楼) column, an important column that targets foreign Chinese speakers, discusses the “guiding opinion on pushing forward the reform and development of the Confucius Institute” (关于推进孔子学院改革发展的指导意见) recently passed by the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform. It explains the meaning of Xi Jinping’s statement that “the Confucius Institute belongs to China and the world.” First, the Confucius Institute is a “broadcaster” that portrays the China story well and delivers China’s voices well. Second, the Institute cultivates and spreads the consciousness of a community of a shared future for mankind. Third, the Institute demonstrates the “four confidences,” especially cultural-self confidence. The commentary concluded that the Confucius Institute has great prospects in the new era.
