In this study, two CI cases in Scandinavia were selected to make analysis by applying CI function framework and soft power theory. It was found the reasons of China to take the CI project are derived from China's need to apply soft power strategy and its internal political imperatives. The in-depth fieldwork shows the functions that CI is playing in Scandinavia have helped China to develop its soft power in this area, but the increase of China's soft power is limited. The development of China's soft power in this area is still on its primary stage. However, the impact of CI on building China's soft power here may potentially turn bigger and deeper in coming future.",
