WeChat is the major Chinese social media platform, with over a billion users worldwide. Using WeChat is essential for Chinese
citizens' daily lives, and at the same time for foreign individuals, institutions, and companies entertaining rela-tionships
with the People's Republic of China (PRC). In this paper, the authors an-alyse the role of the WeChat social media platform
as a soft power tool. Through the case study of Politecnico di Torino as a foreign institution opening a WeChat Official Account,
the authors explore the numerous purposes the platform offers and its impact on a foreign institution.
