Résumé
Au cours des dernières années, la Chine a fait des efforts notables pour promouvoir son soft power. Ces efforts ont grandement attiré l’attention de l’Occident, et en particulier des États-Unis où analystes et décideurs politiques ont exprimé leur préoccupation au sujet de la montée de la Chine. Or, plusieurs confondent curieusement les formes de hard power et de soft power. Cet article explore la compréhension chinoise du soft power et quelques raisons possibles de la mauvaise interprétation faite par les analystes occidentaux. L’auteur conclut que la façon dont la communauté internationale conçoit la montée de la Chine et y répond pourrait devenir une source de la puissance et de l’influence chinoises, conduisant à une sorte de prophétie autoréalisatrice.

Abstract
In recent years China has made dramatic efforts to promote its soft power. These efforts have attracted much attention in the West, especially in the United States, where analysts and policy-makers have expressed concern that China’s rise may threaten status-quo power arrangements. However, many commentators on China curiously conflate hard and soft forms of power, thus giving the erroneous impression that China possesses far more “soft” influence than it really does. This article explores some of the reasons for this misinterpretation and concludes that the way the international community conceives of and responds to China’s rise might in itself become a source of Chinese power and influence, leading to a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.
