About this episode
The episode discusses China's tactics in information warfare and its efforts to suppress unfavorable narratives.
China's propaganda machine doesn't argue with the story. It buries it. From flooding Xinjiang hashtags to bot networks testing their reach during a U.S. Senate race, Beijing has turned information warfare into a numbers game. Now it's exporting that playbook — with teams working nine-to-five shifts to drown out anything China doesn't want you to see. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
