Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines nine years of Pathlight: New Chinese Writing (2011–2018), the English edition of the Chinese literary magazine, People’s Literature, as one of the recent instruments developed by the Chinese government to build soft power and tell the world the Chinese story. It focuses on the narratives being selected, translated, and exported into English-speaking countries via Pathlight, compares this effort at cultural diplomacy to earlier such projects in China, and sets Pathlight into President Xi’s ideological focus of ‘the Chinese Dream.’
