What has enabled China to spread its soft power in Third World countries - much to the annoyance of the US? （呵呵，让老美更加烦心的还在后头）
According to analysts, China continues to make available its space expertise to the countries keen on entering the "satellite age" through long-term soft loans and hassle-free technical assistance and smooth technology transfer .
China has already built and launched satellites for countries such as Pakistan, Venezuela and Nigeria, in addition to providing commercial launch service for Indonesia's domestic satellite named Palapa. Further, it has signed commercial satellite and ground systems export contracts with Bolivia and Laos.
These developments have a negative impact on the US, in that China has successfully challenged the once absolute US dominance over the global commercial space enterprise. Secondly, it has helped boost China's diplomatic clout across a large part of the Third World, much to the disadvantage of the US. In the ultimate analysis, Chinese forays in space, in addition to reinforcing its technological supremacy, have resulted in the expansion of its soft power.（软实力须有硬实力支撑啊）
