to influence the world, how China\u2019s historical experience weighs on the present, and how those outside of China are responding. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinacenter.net\/2024\/china-currents\/23-1\/public-diplomacy-through-social-media-the-chinese-way\/\">Parama Sinha Palit<\/a> examines how China, which has long carefully controlled messages that its own population receives, is using digital media in its public diplomacy aimed at the rest of the world. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinacenter.net\/2024\/china-currents\/23-1\/indias-outward-foreign-direct-investment-in-the-context-of-chinas-belt-and-road-initiative\/\">Vijaya Subrahmanyam,<b> <\/b>Usha Nair Reichert and China Currents Managing Editor Penelope Prime<\/a> focus on how India is responding to China use of economic tools \u2014 specifically foreign investment \u2014 to gain influence in India\u2019s home region. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinacenter.net\/2024\/china-currents\/23-1\/the-global-spectacle-of-netflixs-3-body-problem\/\">Andy Rodekohr<\/a> turns to culture and analyzes the Netflix adaptation of the blockbuster Chinese novel, the Three Body Problem. Is it a problem that the Netflix version is widely viewed as not Chinese enough? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinacenter.net\/2024\/china-currents\/23-1\/the-chinese-style-weapons-of-the-weak-a-think-piece-of-shanghai-tai-chi\/\">China Research Center Director Hanchao Lu<\/a> discusses how his book <i>Shanghai Tai Chi: The Art of Being Ruled in Mao\u2019s China, <\/i>originally meant as a historical account,<i> <\/i>holds clues to the dynamics of the present moment. The issue also showcases, with a video and transcript, an excerpt from an interview <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinacenter.net\/2024\/china-currents\/23-1\/marketus-presswood-what-it-is-like-to-study-in-china-as-a-black-man\/\">Marketus Presswood<\/a> did with the National Committee for U.S.-China Relations about his experience as a black student in China.
