Sumario:[EN] The end of the 20th century transformed the international projection of states, shifting away from coercive power in favor of soft power rooted in cultural appeal. In this context, cultural diplomacy has emerged a key pillar of international relations. This phenomenon has been closely associated from the outset with Japan and anime, through its Cool Japan strategy, and has gradually been embraced by other Asian countries, such as China with its Main Melody Films. Thus, animation has become both a vehicle for international influence and a key tool for political communication. This article provides a historical review of the animation industry in China and Japan, with the aim of identifying the synergies between its development and each country's political objectives. Through the analysis of paradigmatic cases, it seeks to evaluate the power of animation as an instrument for political communication.
