This paper examines the conceptual framework of China’s cultural soft power during the first term of the Xi Jinping leadership (2012–2017). Drawing mostly on official statements by central party organs, the article identifies the rationale, values, and instruments of China’s cultural soft power and national image building strategy, and also briefly assesses limitations of the strategy.
