BFM explores the rise of China as a global powerhouse and whether its soft power is shaping the identity and political views of young, local ethnic Chinese.
It also explores whether its soft power is any different from how Hong Kong and Taiwan captured the imagination of Chinese Malaysians back in the 1980–2000s, or how the English-speaking community is often shaped by American pop culture and politics.
BFM speaks to Liew Liang Hong, a researcher from Iman Research.

I was talking to a Catholic priest who recalled his visit to China. During the visit he and his friends visited a Catholic Church and was taken around church by the priest. However, when they wanted to take a photo, the priest told them he did not to be in the photo for fear of the authorities.
So, much for China. Please do not give publicity to China unless it’s an article on Xiangjiang or Tibet.
