Based on a synthetic model that the author constructs for evaluating national images, together with a historical review and quantitative analysis, it discusses the issues and challenges confronting China's image around the world since the Opening Up. To help rectify the situation that most of the research on China's reform efforts focuses on hard power (esp. economic power), this book, which mainly focuses on China's soft power, reviews and assesses its global image from the three perspectives of politics, economy and culture. In the process, it sheds valuable new light on the presentation of China's image and the world's perceptions of China UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-19-9020-5 ER -
