Toward a cultural community in NE Asia
For me, in the flood of news a headline bears special importance for Northeast Asia security. The guideline reiterated by President Hu Jintao about boosting the "cultural soft power" of China recognizes that "culture has increasingly become a major element bringing together the people and the creative power of Chinese nationality".
Underlining the importance of culture it was stated by leaders in the field, that culture is a "fundamental attribute of a nation" and "a major driving force for economic growth".
Actually, the guideline could be an important factor if we extend our scope to the regional level.
