A pro-China misinformation operation is growing and attempting to fuel physical protests by exploiting US Covid divisions, a report says.

Washington A pro-Chinese government online influence operation is targeting Americans in an effort to exploit divisions over the Covid-19 pandemic and"physically mobilize protestors in the US in response," according to a new report from cybersecurity firm Mandiant and experts at Google.

The operation, which initially attempted to discredit pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong in 2019, has expanded into a"global campaign that's operating in seven languages, on at least 30 social media platforms and across 40+ website & forums," experts at Mandiant and Google say, noting parallels to the Russian disinformation campaign around the 2016 presidential election.

Look like every one eager budget to fight with 'pro-china'🤣

DrLiMengYAN1 You CNN seems one of them.

Well,if a report says it,

Oh, are we supposed to be mad at China now? Can't be letting all those war dollars go to waste now can we. Anything to take the focus off the absolute mess this country is, I guess.😐

Getting your share of the propaganda fund against China?

🙄

'a report says' Believe me😂😂😂😂

Thanks, Trumpers

Don't worry, we'll spot the bad grammar.

Stop blaming foreigners for our problems 🖕

Capitalists use anti-Chinese public opinion to gain a lot of wealth, but tariffs increase the cost of living of our laborers. We can't support our own family

This misinformation is coming from Fauci, healthcare, the news, the pharmaceuticals. Several years later we are going to hear about inflammation and health concerns related to all of this paranoid events. Americans don't need others to confuse them they doing it themselves.

If you can get one half of any group to despise the other half, you're half way there.

Caution, Xi and Vlad seek to rule the world.
