""Has China risen? From the perspective of hard power, the rise of China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong is evident. However, to become a leader in the globalized world, it still needs the support of soft power such as democracy, rule of law, justice, and culture. In addition, peaceful coexistence across the Taiwan Strait is an important condition for the continuous rise of the Chinese nation in the world. The author points out the impact of democratization, technologization, and internationalization on the Chinese nation. He also explores the source of Chinese culture's soft power, including the advocacy of soft power by ancient sages Laozi, Confucius, and Mencius, and analyzes how Taiwan's past technological economy and social development are rooted in traditional Chinese soft power. The author reviews the internal evolution of Hong Kong after returning to Chinese sovereignty and observes the rapid rise of mainland China's hard power, emphasizing the need for matching soft power to establish a leading position in the competition of globalization. Additionally, he cites observations of leaders to illustrate the importance of soft power leadership style.""
