		<description><![CDATA[Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and his entourage flew from India to Pakistan yesterday for a two-day visit. The plane was escorted by six Pakistani Air Force JF-17 fighter jets after entering Pakistani airspace. Both Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and caretaker Prime Minister Mir Hazar Khan Khoso welcomed Li at the airport in person, which clearly reflects the &#8220;all-weather&#8221; friendship between China and Pakistan. Developing friendly cooperation with both India [...]]]></description>

Such a short time interval in top-level contacts between the two Asian giants gives the impression the Chinese dragon and the Indian elephant are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the debate about the Chinese dream continues to echo throughout the country, elsewhere in the world, more and more countries are expressing disenchantment with China. In some places, this sentiment has been translated into the loss of major projects by Chinese companies who have invested billions in relatively friendly countries, only to see their efforts go up in smoke. Governments from Myanmar to Nigeria, Zambia to Kenya and others [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although US political scientist Joseph Nye, who recently slammed China and Russia for their soft power failings, developed the concept of soft power, he was not the first to realize the existence of such power. Many international political theoreticians, including Hans J. Morgenthau, have pointed out over half a century ago that besides the measurable powers such as military and economic strength that play a part on the international political [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China&#8217;s budding multi-dimensional financial diplomacy is not only helping promote its own economic transformation, regional development, but also propelling reforms of the global economic governance favorable for sustainable development. The 2008 financial crisis has rattled the old economic order dominated by developed countries, as emerging markets and developing countries have played an increasingly important role in tackling the crisis and become a driving engine for global economic growth. The turmoil [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China&#8217;s economic growth of 7.7 percent in the first quarter fell short of market expectation, triggering jitters in the global markets. Some investment gurus expressed pessimism about the Chinese economy and short sold Chinese stocks, while Fitch led the chorus by cutting China&#8217;s sovereign credit rating earlier in April, citing &#8220;underlying structural weaknesses.&#8221; However, analysts say China&#8217;s slower growth, down from 7.9 percent in the final quarter of 2012, was [...]]]></description>

The defeat for the top post and subsequent departure from the WB in 2011 of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a Nigerian economist, dimmed the continent&#8217;s hope of ever heading one of these powerful institutions that continue to be dominated by the US and Europe.

Its appeal is not as much in the fact that its five members Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa are drawn from four continents, but in its ability to stay united and apolitical although the members are as different as chalk and cheese. But the BRICS are showing signs of stumbling upon their [...]]]></description>

Does this have anything to do with developments in China&#8217;s soft power? It may take a few years before the Chinese fully understand soft power.
