And that is why the West has so much soft power while China has none. Westerners embrace people regardless of their race. Americans elected a Black president, twice! Western movies feature Black and Asian actors all the time. Westerners understand that under our skin we are all humans.

China is for Chinese only, Chinese culture is said to be too 'profound' (whatever that means) for Black or White people to understand it. You reject outsiders and yet you expect them to embrace your culture, worship you and give you the soft power you are craving for.

The whole mindset behind Chinese attempts at soft power is wrong, Foreigners are not interested to hear about myths of Chinese superiority and bad outsiders, Foreigners want to see positive changes and a China that isn't pompous to say the least, make movies about friendship and partnership on equal terms between Chinese and Black or White people, then maybe Foreigners will go to see it.
