His speech was a mash-up of charges that aren’t supported by the documents he released.

    I remember when all this came out. Came out with the stuff about the Russian’s doing the same thing. Which if they called that the Russia hoax, and Russia was shown to be much more effective at it, what do we call this?

    The research showed that the Chinese propoganda machine was super ineffective on American politics, but very effective on ethnically and nationally Chinese people, which is why they now have police stations all over the world which can capture and extradite Chinese people and Chinese national Uighars around the world.

      This was reported as “conspiracy nonsense”, but if you know, you know:

        It was reported, investigated, and found to be bullshit.

        On which, that the Chinese effort wasn’t as effective on the general American populace as the Russian campaign, or the Chinese police stations? For the latter it’s related to the Safeguard report release in 2016 of which multiple governments confirmed the grand diaspora government program had created hundreds of non embassy 'service stations" that just happened to be related to credible reports of tracking and intimidation. Of which a dude was just convicted in the US for, when they went after him, him and his partner started burning shit like they were a Russian embassy.

        Or the ineffective but present propoganda efforts by the prc that resulted in multiple news agencies being required to register as foreign agents in 2018 and an increase in IRA style social media campaigns around the covid pandemic.

          I don’t trust any American government agency or their reports. Do you?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
