กรณีศึกษา การใช้ SOFT POWER ของจีนในยุค COVID-19 /โดย ลงทุนแมน
ถ้าพูดถึงประเทศที่ใช้ Soft Power ได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ
เราอาจนึกถึง ประเทศที่ประสบความสำเร็จในการส่งออกทางวัฒนธรรม อย่างเกาหลีใต้หรือญี่ปุ่น
แต่จริงๆ แล้ว Soft Power ไม่ได้มีแค่เรื่องที่เกี่ยวกับวัฒนธรรมเพียงอย่างเดียว
โดยเฉพาะในสถานการณ์ตอนนี้ ที่มีการระบาดอย่างหนักของ COVID-19
จีน กลับเป็นหนึ่งในประเทศที่มีบทบาทโดดเด่นสุด ตอนนี้

เรื่องนี้น่าสนใจอย่างไร? ลงทุนแมนจะเล่าให้ฟัง

ก่อนอื่นเรามาเริ่มจากการทำความเข้าใจกับคำว่า “Soft Power”

Soft Power มาจากแนวคิดของศาสตราจารย์มหาวิทยาลัยฮาร์วาร์ด ชื่อ Joseph Nye
เป็นการขยายอิทธิพล หรือทำให้ผู้อื่นคล้อยตาม โดยไม่ใช้วิธีการบังคับ
ซึ่ง Soft Power จะเกิดขึ้นจาก 3 ปัจจัยหลัก ได้แก่ วัฒนธรรม ค่านิยม และนโยบายต่างประเทศ

ตัวอย่างประเทศ ที่ประสบความสำเร็จจากการใช้ Soft Power

ฝรั่งเศส ขึ้นชื่อเรื่องอาหาร โดยถือเป็นประเทศที่ได้มิชลินสตาร์มากสุดในโลก
มีสถานที่ท่องเที่ยวที่มีชื่อเสียงหลายแห่ง เช่น หอไอเฟล พิพิธภัณฑ์ลูฟวร์
ทำให้เป็นประเทศที่มีนักท่องเที่ยวต่างชาติเดินทางไปเยือนมากสุดในโลก
คิดเป็นจำนวนเกือบ 90 ล้านคน ในปี 2018

สหราชอาณาจักร มีสื่อที่ได้รับการยอมรับ อย่าง BBC
ซึ่งนับเป็นหนึ่งในสื่อทรงอิทธิพล ที่มีคนดูมากที่สุดในโลก
นอกจากนั้นยังมี Premier League ที่เป็นการแข่งขันฟุตบอลที่ได้รับความนิยมไปทั่วโลก

สหรัฐอเมริกา เรียกได้ว่าเป็นอีกประเทศที่ประสบความสำเร็จในการเผยแพร่วัฒนธรรม
ผ่านอุตสาหกรรมภาพยนตร์ เพลง รวมถึงแบรนด์ที่เราใช้กันในชีวิตประจำวัน
ด้านการศึกษา สหรัฐอเมริกา ถือเป็นประเทศที่มีมหาวิทยาลัยระดับโลกมากสุดในโลก
รวมถึงด้านเทคโนโลยี ก็เป็นต้นกำเนิดของบริษัทอย่าง เฟซบุ๊ก แอปเปิล กูเกิล ไมโครซอฟต์

และอย่างที่รู้กันว่า คู่แข่งที่สำคัญของสหรัฐอเมริกา ก็คือ “จีน”

โดยเฉพาะ เมื่อเกิดเหตุการณ์ที่คาดไม่ถึงอย่าง COVID-19
ซึ่งกลายมาเป็นปัจจัยสำคัญ ในการแข่งขันทางขั้วอิทธิพลระหว่าง 2 ประเทศนี้
และก็ดูเหมือนว่าจีน กำลังทำคะแนนในด้านนี้ได้อย่างโดดเด่น

เพราะแม้ว่าจีน จะเป็นศูนย์กลางการระบาดแห่งแรกๆ
แต่ก็เป็นประเทศที่สามารถจัดการกับ COVID-19 ได้เป็นแห่งแรกๆ เช่นกัน

ซึ่งเมื่อการระบาดแพร่กระจายไปยังประเทศอื่น
จีน ก็ใช้โอกาสนี้ ในการส่งความช่วยเหลือไปให้ทั่วโลก

โดยรัฐบาลจีน ได้มีการส่งอุปกรณ์ที่จำเป็น ไม่ว่าจะเป็นหน้ากากอนามัย ชุดป้องกันเชื้อโรค ชุดตรวจโรค รวมถึงทีมแพทย์ ไปให้กว่า 120 ประเทศ

มีการเผยแพร่ข้อมูลที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการตรวจหาโรค การรักษาโรค และการป้องกันโรค โดยอ้างอิงจากประสบการณ์ที่จีนได้รับมาก่อน

นอกจากนั้น ยังมีการอนุมัติวงเงินกู้ดอกเบี้ยต่ำ และโครงการพักชำระหนี้
ให้กับประเทศซึ่งอยู่ภายใต้โครงการ Belt and Road ที่ได้รับผลกระทบจาก COVID-19

ในส่วนภาคเอกชนของจีนเอง ก็ให้ความร่วมมือและช่วยเหลือในวิกฤติ COVID-19 นี้ไม่แพ้กัน

โดยเฉพาะธุรกิจที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการผลิตอุปกรณ์การแพทย์ การเงิน และการขนส่ง มีการบริจาคอุปกรณ์การแพทย์ ไปยังประเทศต่างๆ

นอกจากนั้นยังมีมูลนิธิของ Alibaba และ Jack Ma ซึ่งบริจาคหน้ากากอนามัยให้เกือบ 100 ประเทศ

มีการเผยแพร่สื่อที่เกี่ยวกับวิธีการรักษาโรคใน 8 ภาษา ลงบนโลกออนไลน์
รวมถึงสร้างแพลตฟอร์มแลกเปลี่ยนข้อมูลแบบเรียลไทม์ที่ชื่อว่า
Global MediXchange for Combating COVID-19 หรือ GMCC

ซึ่งในขณะที่จีนกำลังทำทุกอย่างนี้ สหรัฐอเมริกาที่เป็นพี่ใหญ่ของโลก กลับยังไม่สามารถควบคุมสถานการณ์การระบาดของ COVID-19 ในประเทศได้

ดังนั้น COVID-19 จึงเปรียบเหมือนโอกาสของจีน
ในการสั่นคลอนอิทธิพลของสหรัฐอเมริกา โดยใช้ Soft Power เป็นทรัพยากรที่มีอยู่ในมือ

และถ้าจีน สามารถผลิตวัคซีนได้สำเร็จเป็นประเทศแรก
ก็น่าสนใจไม่น้อยว่า สมดุลขั้วอำนาจระหว่างจีน และสหรัฐอเมริกาจะเปลี่ยนไปอย่างไร

จริงๆ แล้ว ก่อนหน้า COVID-19 จีนได้เริ่มมีการใช้ Soft Power มาสักระยะหนึ่งแล้ว

ในด้านวัฒนธรรม เราจะเห็นได้ว่าทั้งวงการบันเทิง สถานที่ท่องเที่ยว และภาษาจีนที่เริ่มเป็นที่นิยมมากขึ้น ผ่านซีรีส์ ภาพยนตร์ เพลง รวมถึงการให้ทุนการศึกษาจำนวนมากแก่นักเรียนต่างประเทศ

ในด้านการต่างประเทศ ก็มีโครงการ Belt and Road ที่เข้าไปช่วยพัฒนาโครงสร้างพื้นฐานในกว่า 60 ประเทศ

ซึ่งเมื่อมองย้อนกลับมาที่ไทย เราเองก็เป็นประเทศที่มีเอกลักษณ์โดดเด่น

เรามีวัฒนธรรม มวยไทย อาหารไทย ที่ขึ้นชื่อ
เรามีภาพยนตร์ ละคร ศิลปิน ที่เริ่มเป็นที่รู้จักในต่างประเทศ
เรามีสถานที่ท่องเที่ยว ที่ได้รับความนิยมเป็นอันดับต้นๆ ของโลก

และไทยยังได้รับการจัดอันดับว่ามีความมั่นคงทางสุขภาพเป็นอันดับที่ 6 ของโลก

แปลว่าจริงๆ ถ้าเราสามารถวางกลยุทธ์เพื่อบริหารจัดการจุดเด่นเหล่านี้ได้
ประเทศไทยเรา ก็มีศักยภาพในการใช้ Soft Power ได้ไม่แพ้ใครเช่นกัน..

A case study of Chinese SOFT POWER in COVID-19 era / by investing manly.
Speaking of countries that use Soft Power effectively
We may think of a country that succeeds in cultural exports like South Korea or Japan.
But really, Soft Power isn't just a cultural thing.
Especially in this situation where COVID-19 outbreak is now.
China is one of the most iconic countries now.

How interesting is this? Investing man will tell you about it.

First of all, let's start by understanding the word ′′ Soft Power ′′

Soft Power comes from the concept of Harvard University professor named Joseph Nye
Expanding influences or making others follow without a force.
Soft Power will occur from 3 main factors include culture, values and foreign policy.

Examples of successful countries by using Soft Power

France is famous for food. It is the most Michelin star country in the world.
There are many famous attractions such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum.
Make it the country with foreign tourists to visit the world's most.
As many as 90 million people as 2018

The UK has BBC recognized media
Which is one of the most viewed influential media in the world.
In addition, Premier League is a popular football match all over the world.

USA is called another successful country to publish culture.
Through the film industry, music including brands we use in everyday life.
U.S. education is the country with the world's most universities.
Including technology is the origin of companies like Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft.

And as you know, a major U.S. rival is ′′ China

Especially when unexpected events like COVID-19
Which became an important factor in the influential competition between these 2 countries.
And it looks like China is scoring this side outstandingly.

Because although China is the center of the first outbreak.
But it's also a country that can handle COVID-19 as well.

When the outbreak spread to other countries
China also uses this opportunity to send help to the world.

Chinese government has been sent necessary equipment, hygienic mask, anti-germs, examination kit, including medical team to over 120 countries.

Information related to disease detection, treatment and prevention of disease based on the experience China has obtained before.

In addition, low interest loan band approved and debt break project.
To the country under the Belt and Road project affected by COVID-19

In China's private sector, we are cooperating and helping with this COVID-19 crisis.

Specifically, businesses involved in the production of medical equipment, finance and transportation. Medical supplies are donated to different countries.

In addition, Alibaba and Jack Ma's foundation donated almost 100 countries of hygienic masks.

Media has been published on how to cure 8 languages online.
Including creating a real-time data exchange platform called
Global MediXchange for Combating COVID-19 หรือ GMCC

While China is doing everything, the world's big brother USA can't control the COVID-19 outbreak situation in the country.

Therefore, COVID-19 is like China's opportunity.
To shake U.S. influence using Soft Power as a resource on hand.

And if China can successfully produce vaccines first country.
Interesting how the power balance between China and USA will change.

In fact, COVID-19 China has started using Soft Power for a while.

In the culture, we can see that the entertainment industry, attractions and Chinese are becoming more popular through film series, music including scholarships. cuddle students abroad.

In foreign countries, there are Belt and Road projects that help develop infrastructure in over 60 countries.

When I look back at Thailand, I am a unique country.

We have a Thai boxing culture, famous Thai food.
We have a drama film, an artist that started to be known abroad.
We have the world's top popular attractions.

And Thai is also ranked as the world's number 6 health stability.

Really means if we can strategize to manage these highlights.
Thailand, we also have the potential to use Soft Power, not allergic to anyone..

【Taiwan to be the 2nd largest surgical mask producer】
⬆Publish Time：2020-02-19
Facing a worldwide supply shortage of surgical masks during the global #COVID-19 outbreak, the Taiwan government, fast collaborating with local industry technology research institutes as well as smart-machinery & automation sectors, will increase mask production to meet the demand domestically, and in the process turn Taiwan into the 2nd largest surgical mask producer in the world✨.


The collaboration with industry sectors has effectively reduced the production cycle of mask equipment from 2 months to 1 week and completed 60 production lines from six months to just one month, ready to produce 10 million pieces per day by the end of February to early March.


🇹🇼Taiwan plays a crucial role in global machine tool industry🔧. Taiwan is the 7th largest machine tool maker, with 80% of products exported to 138 countries. The exported value stood at 3.06 billion U.S dollar in 2019, making Taiwan the 5th largest machine tool exporter in the world.


🇹🇼Taiwan’s machinery clusters are based in #Taichung, with over 1,500 machine tool makers and 10,000 satellite firms nearby, enabling flexible production, specialties sharing, and short lead times. Such comprehensive and high-density clusters also made Taiwan’s machine tools industries highly competitive and customer-oriented, offering high quality products through efficient and cost-effective operations.
