China, on the other hand, has shown itself to be a clear world leader; It has carried out various actions related to soft power that have allowed it to successfully manage this pandemic. This paper analyzes: its health sovereignty: the Chinese State as a world supplier of a scarce and necessary good; the use of vaccine diplomacy: they have been destined for strategic geopolitical locations and in line with their commercial and economic strategies; Chinese culture and its respect for life: China differs discursively and on the ground in terms of its weighting of life over economics; the role of the media: with an offensive role and a critical approach in the US and Europe; cultural diplomacy: China is a modern, highly flexible state and this allowed it to continue with its cultural diplomacy strategies; finally, the cultural and creative industries: which did not stop their dizzying growth in the face of the current pandemic. Durante la pandemia COVID-19, China ha seguido consolidando su poder y la proyección de su marca país de cara al mundo diferenciándose de muchos países de Occidente, los cuales proyectaron imágenes confusas y conflictivas. China, por el contrario, se ha mostrado como un claro líder mundial; ha llevado adelante diversas acciones vinculadas con el softpower que le han permitido manejar con éxito esta pandemia. En el presente trabajo se analiza: su soberanía sanitaria: el Estado chino como proveedor mundial de un bien escaso y necesario; el uso de la diplomacia de las vacunas: las mismas han sido destinadas a lugares geopolíticos estratégicos y en consonancia con sus estrategias comerciales y económicas; la cultura china y su respeto por la vida: China se diferencia en lo discursivo y en el terreno en cuanto a su ponderación de la vida por sobre lo económico; el rol de los medios de comunicación: con un papel ofensivo y con enfoque crítico en EE.UU y Europa; la diplomacia cultural: China es un estado moderno, altamente flexible y esto le permitió continuar con sus estrategias de diplomacia cultural; finalmente, las industrias culturales y creativas: las cuales no detuvieron su vertiginoso crecimiento frente a la pandemia actual.
