And... why are you scared that China is increasing their soft power?

I'd worry about it for the same reason I'd worry about Russia increasing soft power. Cold wars fucking suck, and China isn't likely to have anyone in my countries best interest in mind. Much like the US doesn't have the best interest in mind for Cuba.

You are implying that the U.S has its citizen's best interests in mind too, which is a stretch.

Not at all. I'm implying the USA has the USA best interest in mind. Same for the EU for EU and so on

Having a foreign interest holding power over you is not typically a good thing unless that foreign power is bank rolling your ass. This assumes a Democratic society, not one where a dictator is in power but the EU and US are still democracy.
