Published by National Endowment for Democracy’s International Forum for Democratic Studies the study states that Over the past decade, China and Russia have spent billions of dollars to shape public opinion and perceptions around the world, employing a diverse toolkit that includes thousands of people-to-people exchanges, wide-ranging cultural activities, educational programs, and the development of media enterprises and information initiatives with global reach.
The report, which focuses on Chinese and Russian influence in Argentina, Peru, Slovakia, and Poland, finds that a clear reconceptualization of “soft power is needed to adequately describe these activities. Such authoritarian influence is better described as “sharp power,” in that it pierces, penetrates, or perforates the information and political environments in the targeted countries.
