dc.description.abstract | This research aims to analyze China's public diplomacy efforts carried out by implementing
the COVID-19 vaccine program in Indonesia. China was the country that first experienced
the COVID-19 outbreak, so China is trying to restore its image internationally. Public
diplomacy is an important tool for China in forming a positive image and improving
bilateral relations with other countries. This research focuses on understanding how China
uses the COVID-19 vaccine as a medium in its public diplomacy towards Indonesia. This
research will use a qualitative approach with secondary data search methods. The various
data collected will be analyzed using three dimensions of public diplomacy, namely actors
and decision making, the content of public diplomacy, and the instruments that will be used
in public diplomacy. This research will identify various public diplomacy efforts used by
China through the COVID-19 vaccine program in Indonesia. The basic assumption
underlying the researchers in compiling this research is the role of the state in carrying out
its diplomatic practices, then the focus of public diplomacy which leads to the economy, and
its execution using the media and organizing large-scale events. | en_US |
