[Regnum] In 2019,the administration of former President of the United States of America Donald Trump instructed the CIA to launch a campaign on Chinese social networks to incite public opinion against the leadership of the PRC. This was reported by the British agency Reuters, citing three former officials and intelligence sources.
“Two years after taking office as president, Donald Trump authorized U.S. intelligence to launch a covert Chinese social media campaign aimed at turning public opinion against his government,” the agency writes.
| Authorized. Whose bright idea was it? Because it sounds like it originated somewhere in the bowels of Langley rather than the Oval Office. |
The material states that US intelligence agencies spread accusations online that members of the Communist Party allegedly hid ill-gotten money abroad. In addition, the One Belt, One Road project has come under attack with accusations of corruption.
According to the publication, the efforts were aimed at “inciting paranoia among the country’s top leadership” and forcing managers to spend resources on fighting the virtual space.
According to media reports, a representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that the news about the CIA initiative demonstrates that the US government is using the media space as a weapon of lies and manipulation of public opinion.
The agency emphasizes that it could not determine whether the administration of the next US President Joe Biden will continue this program. However, when the government grants the CIA covert action powers through presidential orders, they often remain in effect across administrations, two of the sources said.
As Regnum reported, in January 2017, two influential Chinese newspapers published messages addressed to Trump that Beijing would “take off the gloves” if the new US president continued his policy of flirting with Taiwan after his inauguration.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump said he would reconsider the One China policy. The Chinese Foreign Minister noted that this policy is the basis of Sino-American relations and is not subject to revision. After winning the presidential election, Trump received a congratulatory phone call from Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen.
