Reuters on Monday published a report on InfinitUs Marketing Solutions, a Philippine marketing agency that was allegedly hired by the Communist Chinese government to wage an “infowar” campaign against America’s security alliance with the government in Manila.
Much of the activity China paid for consisted of old-fashioned astroturfing — fake social media accounts created by InfinitUs Marketing Solutions to make it look like a groundswell of Filipinos were in love with China, hated the United States, and wanted their own government to stop resisting China’s aggressive territorial claims in the South China Sea.
According to documents obtained by Reuters and interviews with former employees, the Philippine company created a large number of fake accounts on Facebook, which is enormously popular in the Philippines. This network of fake accounts was used to “amplify anti-American content created by Filipino writers, including some who had received money from Beijing.”
InfinitUs documents obtained by Reuters referred to the network of fake Facebook accounts as the company’s “army.” Progress reports prepared by the company discussed the activities of the “army,” such as supporting “the advocacies and activities of the Chinese ambassador’s page,” or criticizing the deployment of American missiles to the Philippines.
The “army” worked hard to boost content from pro-Chinese writers and influencers in the Philippines, notably including Chinese-educated counterterrorism expert Rommel Banlaoi, who has been showered with Chinese-funded “awards” for his work that adds up to “multiples of the average Philippine monthly wage,” according to Reuters.
