Stanford University in the United States discloses the use of social media to spread false information for specific countries and regions including China, affect international public opinion, and respond to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

On September 26, 2022, Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, presided over a regular press conference

Surging news reporter: Recently, the online observation room of Stanford University in the United States issued a report that disclosed that the United States used social media to spread false information on specific countries and regions including China, affect international public opinion, and manipulate cognitive narrative. what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?

Wang Wenbin: I noticed that the relevant report disclosed that over the years, the United States has established a huge publicity network for China, Russia, Iran and other countries in social media for many years. action. I also noticed that many US media have recently disclosed that these false accounts are suspected of being managed by the US military in order to implement secret information wars.

From the Cold War, it launched the "Knowing the Bird Plan" to buy the media to manipulate the public opinion, to the new century "laundry powder" and "white helmets" launched a war on Iraq and Syria, and in recent years, it has slandered the existence of "racial extinction" and "forced labor" in Xinjiang, China. By weaving false information, the United States has continuously woven and spreads false information, and has turned aggressive interference to promote democracy.

In particular, it is ironic that the United States is the largest false information spreader, but it continues to buckle hats and pouring dirty water for other countries. Obviously the United States has set up a large number of false accounts, but promotes social media to ban the personal social account of Chinese netizens. Obviously it is the United States manipulating public opinion, but labels an official label to the Chinese media. Obviously the United States used the "gray black filter" to create anti -China narrative, but accused China of "encouraging anti -American emotions."

Maybe some of the United States believe that as long as there are enough rumors, they can win the information war. However, the eyes of the people of the world are clear. Whether it is Iraq's "large -scale killing weapons", Syrian "white helmets", or "racial extinction" in Xinjiang, China, it is destined to become a symbol of US reputation bankruptcy. The false information spread by the United States is being recognized by more and more people in the world, and it will be cast aside by the world as the United States hegemony.
