"No soft power" and "no exportable culture" seem like an exaggeration. Chinese culture had huge influence historically on Japan and Korea. More recently a lot of people enjoyed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the Dark Forest scifi trilogy.

You are right to point that out, since it’s more a lack of knowledge from GP than of exportable culture. I’ll add to your comment that China exports for decades a of lot of cultural products like drama and songs in all East-Asia, where significant ethnical Chinese minorities reside and consume those media. Chinese is also a popular second language for people to learn in the West.

Chinas soft power is the ability and willingness to bribe politicians from Montenegro to Sri Lanka. Do not underestimate the efficiency of bribes.

> bringing in politics to a discussion about tech
Check you first paragraph, it is political commentary as well. Also, this whole topic is 99% politics and very little technology.
By the way, bringing in politics to a discussion about tech with those comments on Iraq is best avoided.
