softpower of the enemies of the enemy, like FLG, dalailama were taken over as CIA ASSet.
Another example: Accidentally the hindus gained some softpower thro the hippies/Beatles during the 60s/70s and they keep on saying india is a 'spiritual civilisation' with yoga, holymen, bah bah. bah... But the last time I checked, the hindus still need to import army rifles from russia and the hindu nationalists routinely lynched beef eaters. Even the BR types admit they want to promote 'soft' power to cover up their failure in hardpower
I'm sure the yankee elite will 'love' a fragmented china.
Of course,you live in a different environment and want to be 'loved' more.
