The Covid-19 pandemic \u2013 and the attempts to apportion blame for causes and poor responses \u2013 has accelerated a trend both in Latin America and beyond: the increasingly assertive presence of Chinese diplomats in traditional and social media.<\/p>\n

So far in Latin America, Brazil has been the most salient example<\/a>. In April, following tweets by Eduardo Bolsonaro \u2013 the president\u2019s son and foreign policy advisor \u2013 that claimed the spread of the virus was \u201cChina\u2019s fault\u201d, Chinese diplomats accused<\/a> him of \u201cthrowing gasoline on the bonfire of xenophobia\u201d and of being<\/a> \u201cbrainwashed by the United States”.<\/p>\n

Quarantine has been an opportunity for several diplomats to venture into the opinion pages of Latin American dailies. The ambassadors to Mexico and Peru published articles entitled \u201cTogether to Beat The Pandemic\u201d<\/a> and \u201cA Reflection on The Future of Humanity\u201d.<\/a>\u00a0 The offering of Xu Bu, ambassador to Chile, was a little more blunt: \u201cPompeo, The Liar<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The style, as well as the substance of China\u2019s robust defence, has caught the eye of national media. Referring to the performance of a Chinese diplomat on a Brazilian prime-time TV interview, Oliver Stuenkel, a professor of international relations at S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Getulio Vargas Foundation, tweeted<\/a>: \u201cNo longer faceless bureaucrats, the new generation of diplomats is younger, accessible & speak impeccable Portuguese.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wei Qiang, China\u2019s ambassador to Panama told Di\u00e1logo Chino\u00a0<\/em>that the increased visibility of Chinese diplomats in Latin America media was a result of his country\u2019s deepening role in the region and the growth of social media. \u201cHaving worked in Latin America for 30 years, my experience was that we always wanted to appear in the media and engage with the public, but there wasn\u2019t much attention,\u201d he says. \u201cNow, China is responding to the demand that it plays more of a role in world events and it\u2019s true that our diplomats are more visible, but this is a result of a change in circumstance rather than strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

With 13k tweets and 15.4k followers, Wei is Beijing\u2019s most active social media user in Latin America. While Chinese embassies have maintained official Twitter accounts for several years, the growth in personal accounts is a relatively recent phenomenon. A BBC story identified 33 personal accounts run by diplomats<\/a> worldwide, of which 19 were created in 2019.<\/p>\n

Four of those accounts are in Latin America. One belongs to Yang Wanming, the ambassador in Brasilia, while the other three belong to diplomats in El Salvador, Panama and the Dominican Republic, the three countries that established formal relations with Beijing after cutting ties with Taiwan in 2017 and 2018.<\/p>\n

Last November, Lijan Zhao \u2013 the deputy director of foreign affairs \u2013 highlighted Wei\u2019s Spanish tweets<\/a>, following up with \u201cIt is an inevitable trend that Chinese Ambassadors are on Twitter. They will tell you a real China and make the voice of China heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTwitter can be complex and toxic, but it\u2019s a great educational tool,\u201d says Wei. \u201cIt has allowed me to rapidly learn about Panamanian culture, to get a feel for the heartbeat of national life here and to present a more objective picture of modern China against the often dated image of the country held in region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wei was appointed in October 2017 just three months before John Feeley\u2019s resignation as US ambassador over his differences with the Trump administration<\/a>. Feeley \u2013 a prolific tweeter and local celebrity \u2013 has yet to be replaced by the State Department. In his absence Wei became the most followed ambassador in the country and, judging from photos and public appearances, a popular member of the international community.<\/p>\n

Chinese soft power […] is not working. Coronavirus has caused the collapse of many years of hard work and the challenge now is to rebuild credibility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As with other Chinese diplomats online, Wei has used his platform to post evidence from international experts that challenge theories that Covid-19 was manmade or that place blame on its spread on China.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, the US is not playing a positive role. It is criticising China without reason\u201d he says. \u201cOur ideal would be for a tripartite relationship [US-China-Panama] for the benefit of all, but if that\u2019s not possible then at least that [US and Chinese] paths run parallel rather than clashing in a negative way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wei says that he is given discretion over his posts by his employers. Some China observers note major changes in diplomatic trends that suggest a change in central policy, however- the direct criticism of Brazil\u2019s government being a prime example.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent years we\u2019ve seen a shift in the way China projects its image, with a far greater emphasis on cultural diplomacy,\u201d Alessandra Cappelletti, a professor of international relations at Xi\u2019an Jiaotong-Liverpool University told Di\u00e1logo Chino<\/em>. \u201cHowever, intruding in another country\u2019s affairs is very new. Respect for the local government, whatever its nature, was a pillar of Chinese foreign policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the Covid-19 pandemic presents the Chinese government with an unprecedented image problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cChinese soft power, regardless of the huge investments it has received, is not working,\u201d says Cappelletti. \u201cTheir increased online presence means diplomats have exposed themselves to criticism from a well-informed and curious audience. The coronavirus has caused the collapse of many years of hard work in this regard and the challenge now is to rebuild credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
