Did you know that countries can have “soft power”? It’s like being really cool and popular because of your culture, ideas, and how you share them with the world!
🌟 China is now ranked No. 2 in the world for soft power, just after the United States! This means lots of people think China is doing great things that influence the world in a positive way.
The Global Soft Power Index, a big survey by a company called Brand Finance, asked over 170,000 people from more than 100 countries what they think about different nations. China scored 72.8 out of 100, making it the second most influential soft power nation!
So, why is China moving up? Here are some reasons:
