Could be. Me and a number of other merry FReepers have been engaged in a running battle with obvious PLA agents/plants who have tried to use this board to spread ChiCom propaganda as part of a much larger documented effort via online forums and blogs to sway American and world opinion to the PRC's position on a number of improtant issues, such as trade, Tibet, and the Olympics.

Most of the ChiCom/PLA operatives have been quite clumsy and easily identified, but some speak and write very fluent colloquial English and can be quite deceiving.

I understand that over the past couple of days that there has been a major influx of new sign-ups on FR from mainland China. So, please understand our suspicion, and don't take it personal if you are completely innocent.

Oh…. It looks like I get myself into some trouble.
No doubt, I am a Chinese, in fact in Shanghai, but not a PLA.
I work in a US firm, indeed.
I hear about this website just because my friends told me that people here show a heart of mercy to pray for those Chinese in earthquake. What I could do just let people who care this disaster here know more about the truth.
I never try to spread any ChiCom propaganda, even never try to force you to believe in what I said in post. But my thread could supply a different view to you about what happened in our country.

Just as what Voltaire said, I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.
Not death, but I respect your opinion even I don’t agree. That’s why I think we call here Free Republic.

Following is a letter I write to somebody who gave me a kindly welcome here, it also would be appropriate for all of you,

” Really, we didn’t have much feeling about Jesus or Christian, even many of us didn’t believe in Buddhism. But that doesn’t mean we are people without faith. We also believe what you believe, we do what you think is right, just without God’s guidance. We could be guided by a mercy heart.
Lack of communication and fake news set up China’s image like religious or political persecution. Just like many Chinese thought American had unhealthy attitude toward sex. But I think it’s very wrong idea. With the platform just like FReeRepublic, we could know and understand each other better.”
