Talk:Comprehensive National Power

Power or Strength
It may be worth noting, not just as a point of semantics, that the normal translation into English in official Chinese government publications is comprehensive national strength, not power. Cripipper (talk) 10:00, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

POV
This was challenged:
 * Unlike most Western concepts of political power, Chinese political thinkers believe that CNP can be calculated numerically by combining various quantitative indices to create a single number held to measure the power of a nation-state.

At the same time, Composite Index of National Capability says:
 * It [the Composite Index of National Capability] is still “among the best-known and most accepted methods for measuring national capabilities.”

This seems to contradict the challenged sentence and makes it look POV-ish, so I'm rephrasing it. GregorB (talk) 17:59, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Copyrighted List
Per WP:CIL, including the list of countries and their score is a copyright violation. This is because the score, and thus a country's ranking, are derived from some creative formula as opposed to raw facts (as in List of countries by population in 2000). Please do not re-add that list, thanks. Crow  Caw 21:49, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Whose creative formula? If the formula is the work of Chinese government, then wikipedia's use of the formula is within Chinese copyright law. Spumuq (talq) 13:08, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes that is the question: who developed the formula or methodology to perform the ranking, and under what offices? If that can positively be identified as being PD/free or otherwise compatible with our license, then it can of course be added back. Crow  Caw  21:39, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
