Isn't Mandarin still the most popular language on the planet?
Probably just as popular as English or slightly under it.

Wait, hold up. So we are clowning people for paying people of other cultures to sing happy birthday but there are people in the US paying $50+ for celebrities to send birthday messages to people?

That's not true. China has been trying to increase their cultural export for the last decade as that is where we have the big advantage over them. There will be a cap on their global influence without that soft power.
Have you ever seen a Chinese person at an American chain grocery store?They were the worlds' number one economy in the 7th century breh... Their belief was China is heaven
so why go anywhere else ?
Is it not the same thing?Breh. Stop it.![]()
They aren't desperate for that or they'd invest more resources towards it. What they are desperate for is leading the world in manufacturing, green technology and quantum computing ...
They have 1.4 billion people. 20% of the worlds population. Why would they care about getting better at propaganda ? Something which they 1) suck at. 2) deem to have no use compared to tangible results.
Russia has and always will be better at propaganda

I haven’t.
That’s what centuries of programming like this will do to you.

How did Russia even enter this conversation? Seems you are talking about irrelevant things
And I don’t think you actually know what you’re talking about. There are already over 500 Confucius institutes all over the world directly funded by the Chinese government. This in combination with belt and road and the digital RMB is nothing short of a Chinese attempt to dominate other countries and create a cultural and economic sphere of influence
Sounds pretty desperate to me
the chinese people paying that are probably rich and could care less.....Money is money breh. I feel worse for the chinks who have to actually pay people to speak their language![]()
the chinese people paying that are probably rich and could care less.....
the boom in the chinese economy in the last 20-30 years created more wealthy people than any country in the world
'Common prosperity' or crackdown? China goes after its billionaires
And a lot of them are ashamed of their culture and want to be white or black instead
