Nice to see your hard earned tax dollars are going towards such a fabulous cause. Meanwhile I’ve heard it said that Chinese and Russian bots exploit divisions in the Western world by talking about things like poverty, homelessness, gun violence, racism and sexism. Well maybe you should start doing something about those issues to stop them being used as fuel for alleged foreign propaganda efforts hmmm?

    China most likely won’t and it’s one of the more frustrating things about them. They actually have better soft power than the USSR did but will continue not to go on the propaganda offensive while the US relentlessly attacks their ally’s and China’s credibility.

      Yeah, for example, westerners are constantly whining how Tencent, the biggest game making conglomerate in the world, is supposedly “CPC propaganda”, but they still play in their games. Golden opportunity just lying there on a silver platter, cmon China, do it!
