China Floods Facebook With Ads Blaming Trump For Chinese Virus

Chinese state media has been flooding Facebook and Instagram with undisclosed political ads blaming President Donald Trump for the Wuhan coronavirus. Facebook said in a statement that it was an “error” that the ads were not classified as political and is correcting them.

The Telegraph reports that Chinese state media has been posting undisclosed political ads to Facebook and Instagram in an attempt to downplay China’s role in the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic and blaming President Donald Trump. Three Chinese state media outlets, Xinhua, China Central Television, and the Global Times, have targeted ads towards users across the world in English, Chinese, and Arabic.

The ads have reportedly been seen millions of times and extol China’s efforts to fight the coronavirus while downplaying the countries domestic outbreak. The articles portray President Trump as misguided and racist and suggest that the virus may have originated in the United States. “[China] has taken stringent and forceful measures, and turned the tide on coronavirus,” said one ad. Another states: “Trump’s disruption to China has severe consequences.”

All of the ads initially ran without a political disclaimer which allowed them to hide information about who the ads were targeting and where they originated from. Several of the articles focused on President Trump’s use of the term “Chinese virus” to describe the coronavirus while others highlighted statements from Chinese president Xi Jinping.

The Telegraph reached out to Facebook about the ads, the social media network stated that it was an error that the ads were not classified as political and has since corrected the issue. A spokesperson also stated that many of the ads are running in countries where Facebook requires no disclosure making it difficult to determine how much more propaganda may have gone unnoticed on the site.

I go on Facebook every day and have never seen anything about Trump and Coronavirus. I rarely see any political ads at all.

Soros and the DNC have been flooding the net with anti-Trump attacks. The public is sick of it already. Only ignorant Democrat will be influenced by such blatant propaganda.

The ChinaBots are all over the place trying to deflect blame. I’ve made a drinking game of publicly calling them out in forums, calling a spade a spade

Chinese are sensitive about the subject...

The Chinese need to openly and transparently take full ownership of this situation. They need to make full reparations for the suffering they caused, and change their culture, all of it, into a modern civilization. Or they can crawl back into their hole and stew in their own filth, because Western societies are now fully aware of the dangerousness of their duplicity, filth, and decay.

Cancel all debt toward China, confiscate all property bought in the Western Economies, refuse to do commerce, Or they can crawl back into their hole and stew in their own filth, because Western societies are now fully aware of the dangerousness of their duplicity, filth, and decay

The ChinaBots are out in force, they tolerate poorly mockery, and are convinced of the superiority of the Middle Kingdom, well, they can just kiss my ass

China always sucked. Always with their finger in the air. When I was a snot nose kid, my uncle would import tons of crap( some was Nippon } from the empire of japan ( Japan light) and over the years he realized that China was becoming a major player in exporting crap. He realized that our manufacturing industry was going south ( or EAST ) and becoming a service industry. I saw his business go the way of Sears Roebuck and he evolved into a shallow of a man.
I'm just venting.

Those who are pushing these moronic ads seem to be convinced that there are enough people dumb enough to believe their BS that proceeding with this propaganda seems to be irresistible.

And as long as these ads are anti-Trump, most American media outlets and social media sites are all too happy to allow them.
