Shows why China needs better soft power. US can do everything worse than what China has ever done and you’ll still have people whining about social credit and Chinese lack of freedom
Bears have no right to be as cute as they are. If I’m not supposed to snuggle the bear cubs, then the bear cubs shouldn’t be so cuddle shaped and made of fluffy.
I want more bear cubs demanding cuddles than can actually fit in my lap… those look so snuggly. Hell, even one bear cub to hug would be so neat.
If the Soviet Union had figured out how to use Siberian grizzlies as literal soft power, maybe we’d have gotten the good ending to the Cold War… these lil guys are so damn hug shaped. If bears not for bear hugs, bears shouldn’t be made of cute.
not possible. CIA controls all media not just in the US, but all “allied” countries. However, if I were in charge of PR/psychological operations in China I would create a website with official debunks of anti-China propaganda. Have it all in one place. There’s so much stuff that can only be found on places like /r/sino or some obscure local Chinese gov website.

Going to post my standard response to this topic:
That’s some good soft power. Who wants a bear hug?
pandas are an actual china soft power policy. china sends pandas to zoos around the world as a sign of friendship.

Yes, that’s the point I’m making. Along with a play on “soft power” and baby animals tending to be literally soft, fluffy, and hug shaped.
It’s unfair how adorable that panda is. No country could resist that

Ooooh… the hexagonal bear! That’s a lotta bear to hug! Fluffy! If bear not for big hug, why bear so big and made of fluffy?
regardless of the strength of chinas soft power it would be wasted on americans. the people here are by and large beyond converting
