The report meticulously maps out China's means of exerting influence abroad, from "most benign (public diplomacy) to the most malignant, (clandestine activities)," including attempt to agressively manipulate public opinion abroad through think-tanks, "Confucius Insitutions" and media.

Does the study discuss how much influence the Chinese have over the French?

Both sides believe they are playing the other.

Not sure. It's 646 pages written in French. A quick search doesn't yield an obvious and easy to get English version.

This is extremely worrying and the worst thing is - people don't seem to realize how bad that it is. We keep talking about other countries' issues and how they can be resolved, but China? Forget about it! We have a trade deal with them, they're too powerful... Double standards... I just hope we never take their social credit system, but I'm afraid we're headed there...
