Axios: “Facebook said Tuesday it took down the first-ever coordinated inauthentic campaign engaged in U.S. politics that originated from China. China is upping its online disinformation game beyond its own borders. The effort was part of a larger campaign that targeted Southeast Asia.”
“In recent months, China has abandoned its typical disinformation tactics focused on national propaganda and adopted a more Russian-like approach — using fake news to manipulate adversaries and boast its reputation abroad. While there’s no proof the Chinese campaign was state-sponsored, it falls in line with broader tactics now being leveraged by the Communist Party.”
