I have to admit — I still read a lot of print magazine. While on a recent long plane trip to Beijing, I happened to come across this Newsweek article that discussed how PR is increasingly blending with international politics. Very interesting read. I won’t editorialize the article but this quote really stood out when reading the piece:

“Ordinary people across the planet now view China more warmly than they do the United States. Polls taken by the Program on International Policy Attitudes and the BBC show that majorities of people in most countries today consider China to be a more positive influence and less of a threat to international peace than the United States is.”
