Totally! I define censorial power there as control over production and dissemination of china narratives (in my case, in Ethiopia)

Thank you so much, Chenchen! This means a lot coming from you. I hope you like the book when it comes out. I was struggling with the approach for a long time, but I thought it's better to analyze more concrete mechanisms and practices than more vague "soft power."

Ha, I hear you. I have plenty of frustrations with that scholarship myself. In my latest book project, I actually stay away from "soft power" and analyze what I describe as different mechanisms of "image-making," including ideational power, censorship and tangible enticement.

I would recommend The Day of the Oprichnik by Sorokin.
