This section has traced the idea of harmony in international policy to internal
campaigns within China. The idea of harmony has been powerfully extended by the
Chinese government to apply to the people of Asia and of the world. The following
section shows how ideas of international harmony are present in the activities and
thinking of the Confucius Institute’s directors and teachers. In particular, the
Confucius Institute attempts to create harmony through Princess Sirindhorn, who is
part of Thailand’s most revered institution, the monarchy. Various points of views
among the people who are involved with the Confucius Institute are also shown in
order to illustrate how they perceive the Princess’ involvement.
