------

1. China has a set of historical highly prized human moral values (a set of system, a set of thinkings) - that is part of "Heart Softpower" (xin fah, ruan shi li) --- that can win over many friends all over the World.

And China can use more of "Heart Softpower" (a set of system, a set of thinkings) that is above "political blickering - eg. democracy vs communism, freedom vs authoritarian" - to win over friends. Over time, China will inherit "Global Softpower" - via its "Heart Softpower" that is intangible, but powerful and heart warming.

2. I will just pick 3 relevant ones in this context that China can win over friends in this covid pandemic :-

a. Compassion (ren) - from the Heart to help fellow mankind in trouble.

b. Empathy (yi) -  when seeing others in humanitarian crisis, courageously render assistance (jian yi yong wei)

 c. Trustworthiness (xing) - friends or adversaries can trust with predictability, that help will be given when they need help --- and not "throw stones when people are in a well" (luo jing xia shi).

3. Over times, such good deeds will be remembered - and over times, adversaries can be turn into friendship.

4. One adversaries less, is One friend gain.

-----

5. When "Heart Softpower" is manifest to the maximum ---- it can achieve the following outcomes :-

- Friends with All,

- Enemies with None.

- Forging mutual benefits, with Win-Win outcome.

(peng you mang tian xia,

di ren wu yi ge.

yi hu hui hu li de jing sheng, da cheng gong ying de gong shi)

6. When this happen, the Compassionate One is the Greatest One (ren ze wu di) - the wholesome outcome of "Heart Softpower" (xin fah, ruan shi li).
