Soft Power 2.0—China Style
Marshall M. Monroe

January 24, 2019

Marshall Monroe shares insights from his Magic Canyon Institute, an independent research foundation in New Mexico studying various global industries for trends and future scenarios with commercial impacts. Soft Power 2.0 is an investigation front in their MCi-Constellations analytics series. It is a survey of facts and insight regarding China’s Soft Power activities in the global media, entertainment, technology, and real estate sectors. Mr. Monroe, a veteran entertainment and technology development executive, offers some sober warnings and a mitigation strategy for what, to date, appears to be a one-sided SoPo war the U.S. is not activated in, and is certainly not winning. Due to the unprecedented scale of the new SP2.0-CS Concept of Operations, Mr. Monroe calls for the application of analytics, AI, machine learning, and advanced information presentation technologies for increasing understanding and calling deeper attention to this critical, and under monitored, national security, “theater of operations.” Then, with measuring and monitoring, an innovative national security initiative can drive a coordinated, and superior, pro-active strategy.

Marshall Monroe is Founder and Chairman of Marshall Monroe MAGIC, a Creative Technology Incubator and Strategic Design Studio headquartered in Northern New Mexico. He is a former member of the U.S. Director of National Intelligence’s Intelligence Science Board, an organization of distinguished thought leaders advising senior U.S. administration, decision-makers on Science and Technology investment as related to National Security. Mr. Monroe has a degree in mechanical engineering and fine art from Stanford University. He is also an expert witness and advisor in Intellectual Property Litigation.
