A bit wishful thinking. Not sure China's soft power and international reputation is their priority right now. They seem to rely more on brutal force when they deal with international relationships, a bit like Europeans in the 19th Century.

If you have the brute force and willingness to use it, any shit will end up flying.

The headline's confusing. If a losing bet is backfiring, does that mean it's now a winning bet?
