This paper aims to identify the sources of China’s soft power in Botswana and the objectives of its soft power diplomacy in the region. The conclusion drawn is that China employs traditional sources of soft power namely culture, political values, and foreign policy in its diplomatic efforts with Botswana. Through cultural diplomacy, non-interference political values, economic development, and foreign aid, China seeks to foster a positive relationship with Botswana. This strategy is intended to attract Botswana and help China further its national and foreign policy interests. The analysis is based on secondary literature.
