A US State Department report that accuses the Chinese government of expanding disinformation efforts is “in itself disinformation,” Beijing’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed Saturday.
The ministry shot back after the State Department issued a striking report this week in which it accused the Chinese government of expanding efforts to control information and to disseminate propaganda and disinformation that promotes “digital authoritarianism” in China and around the world.
The US report, issued by the Global Engagement Center on Thursday, alleged that China spends billions of dollars a year on foreign information manipulation and warned that Chinese leader Xi Jinping had “significantly expanded” efforts to “shape the global information environment.”
It also underlined US concerns about China as a main military competitor and key rival in the battle over ideas and global disinformation.
Gettin real sick of the forum sliding into “but America bad too” every time there’s a post about China doing shady shit on here.

Bad propaganda troll
Cool.
I’m getting sick of idiots chastising China for what the US does.
Guess we both have to deal with it, huh?
Hilarious. I joined lemmy because of the thousands of anti China posts all over reddit. So obviously state department influenced.
And I’m guessing you joined lemmy.world because hexbear kept getting defederated? Go back there
This is the kind of one-sided, idiotic comment that leads to stifling of actual discussion of geopolitical issues like this, where different perspectives are much needed in this hyper-radicalized landscape.
You are directly contributing to the kind of radicalism that you so despise, because you react to a comment based on emotion and pre-judgement, rather than actually thinking critically about what is being said and responding with helpful criticism or perspective. Fucking hypocrite, shame on you.
What is hexbear? I’ve seen it mentioned but nice try assuming about me. You made an ass out of yourself.
Haha I made an ass of myself? K
Yeah, you did.
That’s what happens when you assume. I’m new here I don’t know what hexbear is, I googled it and it’s another instance? Sure I’ll go check it out I guess
🤡
When you can’t come up with a coherent thought
The people have taken control of the lemmy! It is free from the hands of authoritarian dick-riding tankies! Now recede back to your little safe space instances, and pray at the feet of your Mao statue.
Lemmy belongs to the people!
The people are split on your comment… Have fun watching CNN uncritically.
Unfortunately those rats have set up base here too. If it’s one thing the US is good at, it’s at setting up bases everywhere.
Yeah I believe it. It’s nice they can’t ban me though. r/worldnews banned me seconds after I pointed out the top three articles of the day were from Radio Free Asia.
But you don’t get sick of the endless “China bad” articles, huh?
Lol endless? I maybe see a few posts a week about China while the majority of my feed is American politics and American tech ragebait articles. And I never see people like you on those posts saying “wEll wHaT aBoUt ChInA!!1!”.
Probably because the American political articles are highly specific about American issues (e.g. abortion, debt ceiling, guns, etc). Meanwhile articles like these are all about bashing China for doing what the US does even harder.
No, china is endlessly bad. If you think otherwise youre dumb and should just move to a tofudreg highrise in china.
Something something uyghur internment camps, something something tiananmen square massacre 1989. Get bent, ya china-humping dictator simps.

“It’s only bad when china does it.” - you
It happened once somewhere else, so it’s not a problem that its a real problem in china - you
I never said it wasn’t a problem in China.
It’s a problem anywhere it happens, that’s where you and I diverge.
Hence my original point of: “It’s only bad when China does it” -you
No, it’s bad and a Chinathing because in China it is common enough to have it’s own neologism.
It is common. It is widespread. It is being censored by the CCP.
The US doesnt ban articles talking about highrises collapsing because of corruption.
Does China ban articles about highrises collapsing?
Can you provide any source for this?
I was referring to the highrises collapsing at all. As in, their maintenance was allowed to slack off to the point the building collapsed… while people were in it.

One of many sources for tofudreg censorship.
