China influence operations

Will the Chinese Communist Party’s effort to influence Taiwanese democracy ahead of the upcoming elections succeed?

Taiwan detained two Chinese executives over election influence allegations and proposed an anti-infiltration bill after confessions from Wang Liqiang.

The alleged plot follows a separate series of shocking confessions from a self-identified Chinese spy seeking asylum in Australia.

China has successfully planted its narratives on topics like the Hong Kong protests into major news outlets across Central and Eastern Europe.

While the outlines of a longer-term competition have been cohering, there are also lingering uncertainties as to how this phase of U.S-China relations will evolve.

The country continues to mull ways to counter a challenge that has been receiving wider international attention over the past few years.

The growing reach of PRC influence operations present a special challenge for Asian-Americans. 

It’s the first instance of a U.S. social media company identifying a Chinese government-run disinformation campaign.

Both Washington and Beijing claim to champion sovereignty – they just have different ideas of what that looks like.

While attention to Beijing’s conduct is important, addressing the permissive conditions that create an enabling environment for its activities should remain front and center.

Foreign citizens are increasingly being used to carry out the dirty work of the Chinese regime.
