On February 8, 2011, the U.S. Department of Defense published the National Military Strategy of United States of America 2011. Xinhua published several articles discussing the book. One review stated that in its military strategy, the U.S. will focus on Internet wars and on the Asia-Pacific region. Regarding an Internet war, the article gave the following summary: In developing the future armed forces, the new strategy stresses the “threat of an Internet war,” and for the first time lists “coping with the threat of an Internet war” as a separate military strategy.

Another article was titled, “The U.S. National Military Strategy Report Is Meant to Target China.” The article said, “The report didn’t overtly mention China, but China’s influence is obvious in the text.” “Even when it’s not talking about Asia, the main focus is not too far away from China’s military expansion.” The article relied heavily on foreign media reports to make its point.

People’s Daily published an article commenting on how China is conducting an advertising campaign on CNN to promote China. The same ad is also being displayed with high frequency in New York’s Times Square. The ad started on January 17, 2011, and will continue until February 14, 2011. 
 

The article’s author stated that this kind of national image promotion campaign is a long-term investment. “With this type of strategic effort, we can develop a good international environment for China to prosper, and create a reputation as a good ‘product-manufacturing country’ to support Chinese companies. These efforts are a strategic investment in advertising our national image and can generate enormous value."
