Resumen

El artículo explora las estrategias adoptadas por el perfil de la Embajada de China en Brasil en su cuenta de Instagram para acercarse a la audiencia brasileña. Para ello, nos basamos en el análisis de contenido. Se argumenta que, al utilizar los recursos de las redes sociales, la Embajada busca “tomar el control de la narrativa” sobre China, alineándose con una lógica de promoción nacional cada vez más difundida a nivel global. Destacamos la relevancia del diálogo entre la publicidad y las relaciones internacionales para comprender las dinámicas de construcción y proyección de la imagen nacional en el siglo XXI.
