- Abstract
We are witnessing a health crisis caused by a virus. Its planetary dimensions have brought fear and unrest to both national governments and the world's population. The world has taken a few steps back while almost every segment of human life has stagnated. Economy, social life, education, and even politics for a moment seem to be on the margins of the social life, while each of the national governments are struggling to successfully deal with the virus called COVID 19. As the world faces a global threat, some countries have taken advantage of the health crisis to exert their own influence on the international diplomatic scene. China has used humanitarian diplomacy and soft power to increase its influence in the countries of interest that are not of immediate surroundings. Selflessly giving medical support to the countries which were most affected by the virus China was seen as a country and economic partner that each country would like to have.
