China’s Information Operations Strategy: Controlling Narratives and Shaping Global Perceptions

China leverages hundreds of fake social media accounts to flood conversations.

China’s information operations strategy differs significantly from Russia’s, focusing on shaping global perceptions and promoting the political and economic stability of China. Through state-controlled media, coordinated inauthentic behavior on social media, and leveraging international influencers, China seeks to amplify positive narratives and suppress critical voices. This multi-faceted approach aims to enhance China’s soft power and counteract negative perceptions related to human rights and territorial disputes.
