Week 6 - Ia Lo

National image is in parallel with international relation. The intent, or eventually will become the intent, of a country is to maintain mutual relations with other countries to foster growth and opportunities. During the Mao Regime, China has isolated itself from global communication. Unfortunately, there were few favorable characteristics from the era. Seventy-five percent of Americans had “unfavorable opinions” (Ding, 297). In the “Contemporary Social and Politics of China” course that I have taken, international Chinese students returned from the states and innovatively changed businesses and become more accepting to global partnership. China has challenged the “isolation” image with expanding their media, particularly news media. Chinese news media collaborated with foreign news media, holding the principle that by working with others would bring its media to a broader audience. In Chinese networks like CCTV, shows and programs documents the cultural and environmental glory in China. According to Ding, China has been pushing towards cultural diplomacy. The 2004 Beijing Olympic was the best opportunity for China in mobilizing the country to reinvent the country to be in favor of the world’s eyes. Still, military threats in the South China Sea, Tibet occupation, and labor conditions and pay taint and hinder China from maintaining good ties with potential leaders. China’s image does not get any better when the 45 antagonizes China for stealing away jobs, makes America pay for all trade deals, and a target of the TPP. However, China’s relation might also be influence with the relationship with 45 and Japan’s Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe.

The social media campaign does not require a substantial fund, or no funds at all for the moment, to manage. The campaign relies on existing social websites like Facebook and Instagram that allow users to set up page for free. In this way, we can help promote Bhutan’s image and outdoor excursions that would open the world into Bhutan. 

How does China's image impacts us (U.S)?
