U.S.I. JournalSummary: With the revolution in the field of communication technologies, the relevance of public diplomacy has exponentially increased due to the introduction of infinite, invisible, and empowered stakeholders willing to operate from a place and time of their choosing. The growing relevance of public opinion has resulted in the prominence of soft power over hard power. The availability of surplus capital and the largest human resources (citizens and influential diasporas) coupled with capacity and capability development by China to meet the global demand for cheap surveillance applications and communication gadgets has considerably facilitated China innocuously establishing its footprints through information diplomacy. With phenomenal investment in the establishment of its footprints at critical chokepoints of the world, particularly through the Belt and Road Initiative and technology theft from developed countries, China has not only emerged as a leader in future technology in a short timeframe, but has also placed itself in an unassailable position to monitor, scan, control, investigate, and govern global trade, traffic and communication without drawing global attention. The Chinese dominance in the information domain has considerably augmented its potential to reshape the global information environment for promoting its propaganda, disinformation, and censorship and win future wars without even fighting. – Reproduced
