This leaves attraction – a more potent source of power than one might expect. China, for example, has been attempting to use soft power to cultivate a less threatening image – one that it hopes will undermine, and even discourage, the coalitions that have been emerging to counterbalance its rising economic and military might.
还剩下的就是吸引——这一实力源泉也许比你所预想的更强大。比如，中国一直在尝试使用软实力营造不那么具有威胁性的形象，以期这一形象能够影响甚至破坏为制衡其经济和军事实力而出现的联盟。
