"Even though the narrative against China is hardening, its soft power is making inroads," said Herve Lemahieu, director of Lowy's power index project, while noting this still remains weak compared with that of powers such as the United States.
Online interest in China's news agencies fell 5.2 points to 17.9 per cent, compared with 39.6 per cent for the United States.
China's national newspapers gained more attention, though, edging up 10.5 points with a 4.9 per cent share. This may have been due to considerable regional interest in the Hong Kong-based The South China Morning Post, which is not state-controlled although it does have a Chinese owner.
Interest in Chinese television broadcasters slipped 0.6 points to 1.9 per cent.
China's diplomatic influence slipped 5.1 points over the year, even though it has a larger global and regional diplomatic network than any other country.
"Its adoption of a more strident diplomatic tone – its so-called wolf-warrior diplomacy — and threats of economic coercion against multiple countries appear to have backfired in the eyes of regional policymakers and experts," Lowy said.
