Abstract
China’s creative industries and cultural production are charged with the task of strengthening the progress of China’s cultural power worldwide. This is something other developed nations, for example the United States, have identified in their own practice as soft power development. American blue jeans, Coca-Cola, Hollywood films, and major network television series like Law and Order have changed the way publics throughout the world dress, drink, spend their leisure time, and think of justice.
