The Chinese, through the company TenCent and many others have been pumping money into game developers, movie studios, and Internet platforms to push propaganda. Lucrative business deals allow China to call the shots with regard to how their country has been treated.
It wasn’t that long ago that the NBA bent over for China and most movies that seek a wide release in China must not include any content which paints China in a bad light. Heck, last week Sec. Pompeo admitted there are governors who are on a list from China as “cooperative”.
It’s quite insidious how well China has been operating in the US to influence policy. They know many industries will do anything for $$$ and China has plenty of that to throw around.
The worst part is all their money and stolen tech comes from here.
