Then China needs to shut their propaganda department down and start making banger movies and games on the international stage. Propaganda so good and subtle, noone realise they are being fed propaganda. Integrate Chinese culture and values into people's subconscious mind and everyday life like how Hollywood did it. IMO, propaganda from blatant state sources will never work not to mention how sloppy they are.

Exactly. China needs to create an image of itself that appears „cool“to the world, especially the younger generation.

As China gets richer and gains more hard power, soft power will naturally follow. Be patient.

China does have an international propaganda wing but it just produces childish tricks that don‘t work. Just watch Wolf Warrior 2, it‘s just straight up dumb and not to mention offensive to native Africans. You have one scene where a bunch of Africans dance around a fire while having being evacuated to a factory.

i watched some of the state sponsored propaganda accounts from Insta and Facebook. They are just based on a bunch of people, mostly women, who learnt local languages interact with locals mostly talking about how great China is. Not subtle at all.

Then you have cultural differences. In East Asia, it‘s apparently attractive for grown ass women to look and act like babies but it just simply doesn‘t fly anywhere else bar for some anime nerds.

Why do you want China to have good propaganda?

Foreign Propaganda has never been a forte of the CCP. It's one area they are worse than even amateurs like India. Lol it's so bad that it's not even worth watching to be honest, especially the state sponsored ones like CGTN, CCTV .Lol Anyway, I dont think they should even waste money on that, since they are not good at it. They should just save money and focus on other areas. Leave that to private players who dont actively try to do this, but inadvertently do in a better way while going about their business. Tech companies have done a good job so far.
Russia by contrast is an expert in this domain. They actually even turn many European countries citizens and politicians in their favor despite waging a full scale war against Europe. You even find their propaganda resonate well in Africa where the population has turned very pro Russian/Putin with wag er spreading their influence there as well..etc

No, this is recency bias. CPC once challenged the USSR in terms of global projection of revolutionary power and prestige, that was due to both the party being genuinely quite badass as well as good propaganda to present the image globally. Whatever your opinion of it, GPCR era Maoism had immense aura.

Even after reform and opening there were big spikes of massive power projection, such as the excellently executed Beijing Olympic opening ceremony. I'd actually also contend that the somewhat recent China-Central Asia summit which occured in a renovated Chang'an style area of Xi'an was absolutely dripping with aura.

Spring festival galas show that there are at least some competent people in the state communication/propaganda depts. Even if the quality of spring festival gala has become very soulless and commercialized crap mostly, the dance companies are still peak.
