The article raises an issue of China’s empowerment on international arena through the dimension of ‘soft power’ framework, which turns into compelling trend in contemporary international relations. In his methodology, Zhang mixes business terms with political reality, and calls country’s ability to attract actors from other countries as “the national brand” (p. 233). In addition, he supplements this logic by investigating China’s appearance in news media, taken this approach from journalism studies. In this context, the circumstances of mediated world show that China’s representation in foreign news is highly important for the perception of this country. Zhang read the most influential newspapers among European elites and found out that economic aspect of Chinese behavior gains the most attention from European media (p. 241). In this respect, not only the range of topics but also the frequency of appearance in media is important for decision-makers. The practical illustration of media influence is visible in EU-China relations, because EU officials change their behavior according to the media image of China in European newspapers.
