From w88 casino of Finance, w88 casino of International Relations, w88 casino of Foreign Languages, Institute of International Economics, etc.5Graduate students interpreted the ideas in the book based on their own subject backgrounds and professional knowledge. Long Silu from the w88 casino of International Relations believes that this book is full of the author's nostalgia for the United States as a superpower. The "smart power" mentioned in the book is essentially the ability to maintain alliances and create networks. The key to shaping this ability lies in the attraction of culture and values, as well as the vitality and creativity of civil society.WTOHuang Yanxi from the Institute used the fable of "The Wind and the Sun" as a metaphor to vividly illustrate the relationship between hard power and soft power, and conducted an in-depth analysis around the three levels of power and the three dimensions of relational power. Zhao Fang from the w88 casino of International Relations pointed out from a professional perspective that as a representative of liberal institutionalism theory, "The Future of Power" is a book that embodies the spirit of Joseph Nye's liberal realism. However, in terms of the conciseness of realism, this book still has certain shortcomings and deficiencies that still need to be improved. Ma Junjie of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages believes that the object of soft power is the abstract heart, and the movement of the heart is the highest state of all influence. The key to strengthening the country's soft power is to cultivate outstanding thinkers and form academic trends that are in line with the development of the times. This is the source and living water of the formation of soft power. Gao Qingshan, a student from the w88 casino of Finance who appeared at the finale, believed that if China wants to rise peacefully, it must learn to deal with the world and itself. To deal with the world, it needs to use the framework of smart power to think about China's geopolitics, and to deal with itself, it must use the perspective of smart power to think about the changes in our party's governance style in the past ten years. Their wonderful interpretations and speeches attracted bursts of applause from the audience.

At the end of the reading group, Associate Professor Wang Jimei said5classmates made wonderful comments on their speeches.

Finally, she encouraged students to study problems from different disciplinary perspectives, especially to pay attention to the importance of natural science knowledge in solving social problems, and to develop good habits of independent thinking and cooperative solutions.
