Not saying none of this is weird but one thing that's at play in US cultural reactions to Chinese soft power plays is that we take our own soft-power dominance for granted even though we have completely outsourced cultural production to corporations that don't care about ushttps://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1420674233152245769 …
I find I view this differently. Free and prosperous societies produce cultural soft power organically, whereas authoritarian societies have to use state action. Sure, some of that organic production is corporate, some of it isn't and there are gradations in between.

But then again, I'll also take corporations, which don't care about you but also cannot legally shoot you or put you in a death camp, to state power - where state actors who *also* don't care about you can do both of those things.

I'm sorry, I reject this on several levels. First you're conflating cultural production - which happens in all human societies - with soft power projection - which happened for us in the 20th century because we were militarily and economically hegemonic.
