Extrapolating it to a soft-power attack by Japan is similar to China viewing Facebook as owned by the CIA.

- chongli 8y agoRead the article. It isn't using the term "soft power" in the realpolitik sense, it's something else entirely. It's more of a meditation on culture and the search for meaning in life. It suggests that Westerners have forgotten what most other societies remember. It uses Japan as an example, but the idea isn't specific to Japan.
