A Report released by the State Department claims that China is investing significant resources in disinformation, surveillance, and censorship tactics to shape international narratives in its favor. The report warns that China's methods are deceptive, coercive, and involve tracking and suppression techniques to stifle criticism. Examples cited in the report include the Chinese Communist Party's use of bot networks to amplify posts and attack critics, state media employees posing as influencers, and the acquisition of technologies to monitor and control information online. The report also highlights China's use of intimidation tactics and its limited success in democratic countries.
