Here is a suggestion from a European netizen: China must learn to package and promote itself like the West.
It's roughly like this. Recently, the talent cultivation system in China has been widely discussed among European netizens. The driving force behind China's technological development is defined by European netizens as the number of engineering graduates being unparalleled globally. One netizen presented the classification of Chinese bachelor's degree graduates in 2022: 6.74 million in engineering (the United States has only 1.37 million over three years), and 12,000 in philosophy.
Therefore, a Finnish netizen who has compared European and Chinese philosophy gave his opinion: China has too few philosophers, which results in the Westerners basically controlling the initiative of world narratives. This Finnish netizen believes that Chinese philosophy tends to be more pragmatic, while European philosophy is more idealistic, linguistic, and so on.
PS: It does seem to be somewhat true. Our traditional mindset has always been "good wine needs no bush," and our usual approach has been "if you foreigners come and see, you will know how China really is." However, in recent years, we seem to have started to seize some of the discourse power, including the "80th anniversary of the victory against fascism in the world," which is actually to break the Western narrative and build our own view of World War II. However, it is still not enough in terms of promotion.
