It doesn't make sense as it is. Maybe something like this will do: Since we do not want to destroy each other with weapons of mass destruction, we employ soft power, which allows us to have influence over others without resorting to violence.

Thank you for your answer.
By the way, if I change the sentence like "Since we do not want to destroy each other with deadly weapons of mass destruction, soft power, which allows us to have peaceful influence over others, is more emphasized than hard power.", does it still sound akward?
I wonder whether the structure and the wording of my original sentence can be fine without mak

Does it still sound awkward? Yes.
There is no need for the article "the" before soft power or hard power.
The phrase "is more emphasized than" is extremely awkward.
Alphecca's sentence was quite good. Why did you change it?
