After US President Joe Biden signed the bipartisan Chips and Science Act into law in August, aimed at shoring up domestic semiconductor manufacturing and deterring similar investment in China, Dragonbridge published content mirroring rhetoric from Chinese state media and trade institutions, portraying the US law as anticompetitive and unfair to China, Google said. Dragonbridge also spread narratives criticising the US for supplying Ukraine with military equipment, as well as claiming that the US government was behind the monkeypox outbreak and protests in China against Covid-19 lockdown measures.

yes, also, youtube, via tiktok, has been playing a lot of their “military turkey strut” videos, showing pilot ‘yew kan fwy’ in their 3d printed copycat fighters.

remember, all bets are off, when the bullets start whizzing!

The internet, like all previous inventions, has become a weapon and this weapon is used to implement cognitive and information warfare.

About 5 years ago I was in Hong Kong staying at a nice (but certainly not luxurious) hotel. I had my laptop with me so I hooked up to their wifi to do some work. Out of curiosity I tried something I had read about regarding China's regulation of the internet. I tried to sign onto google dot com but somehow I repeatedly got google dot cn ("cn" being China's country code). I found that a bit strange but I then proceeded to google "Tienanmen Square". All I got were photos of a peaceful place with Mao looking down at his people lovingly. Not a single dead student.

That was my personal experience with China's control of the internet.

Correct.
