The remarkable ascension of China over the recent decades has precipitated a proliferation of anti-China sentiments, particularly galvanized within the crucible of a ?discourse war? with Western powers, as expressed in the latter?s ?China threat? narrative. In response to such challenges, China has made substantial investments in cultural diplomacy, to augment its soft power through orchestrated global outreach initiatives. This article examines Chinese cultural diplomacy in the realm of entertainment, specifically ?The Melody of Spring: Transnational Spring Festival Gala? hosted in Nanning, Guangxi, and disseminated globally each Chinese New Year. Against the legacy of China-Indonesia bilateral relations as well as Indonesia?s treatment of its Chinese minority, this study explores China?s cultural diplomacy and soft power in contemporary Indonesia. Through the case study of the ?Transnational Spring Festival Gala?, this article posits that China?s cultural dissemination as an instrument of soft power has yielded little influence on the Indonesian public and has limited impact on the formation of a transnational imagined community. 606 $aVariety shows (Television programs)$zChina 606 $aVariety shows (Television programs)$zIndonesia 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Diplomacy$2bisacsh 615 0$aVariety shows (Television programs) 615 0$aVariety shows (Television programs) 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Diplomacy. 676 $a327.510598 700 $aYau Hoon$b Chang, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01826532 702 $aYeremia$b Ardhitya Eduard, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009231103321 996 $aChina?s Cultural Diplomacy in Indonesia$94394512 997 $aUNINA
