China's ruling Communist Party has used tens-of-thousands of fake Twitter accounts to push pro-government, anti-Western rhetoric on the social media site, according to findings of a joint analysis released Tuesday.
The analysis was conducted by the Associated Press and the Oxford Internet Institute, a department at Oxford University. It started as early as late-2019 and concluded last year. The analysis found at least 26,879 fake Twitter accounts that "liked" and shared over 200,000 post by Chinese media and diplomats before they were removed by the social media platform.
Liu Xiaoming, the former Chinese ambassador to the United Kingdom, is one of the Chinese Communist Party's best social media manipulators, according to wire service.
Since joining Twitter in 2019, Liu amassed more than 119,000 followers, many of which were really fake accounts impersonating Western people that "liked" and retweet his posts.
The fake profiles are designed to look like western people.
Isn't social media great?

The pushing of CRT comes from the Chinese and their government trolls.

I thought it was just Twitter algorithms and bots.
Didn't think it was the Chinese, too.
How naive of me.

Not sure this is news to anyone with a brain.
The Russian witch hunt focusing on meddling election touched on this. Just swap ‘Russia’ with ‘All the foreign entities that don’t like western values’
North Korea, China, Russia, Iran.

I need to watch this on YouTube and see if it has a misinformation warning to make sure they are telling the truth.

Our own CIA created and leveraged Fake News and went so far as to buy and utilize radio stations and newspapers all over South America in the 1950's and 60's. I am not sure why we are surprised our enemies are doing it to us now.

I'm not so sure the Chinese are enemies of the current administration.

Propoganda has been a thing since the origin of human history. That's why I never got the whole Russia meddling in the election deal. Yeah, no shite, just like we do theirs and every other country in the world
