The volume of Chinese disinformation inside China about Ukraine from Feb 2022 thru dec 2022 was amazing. Bio weapons, assassination plots, secret missiles - pick your favourite conspiracy theory and it was out there.

The CCP UnitedFront don't seem to realise the damage they are doing to their own political image.

And for fellow HN readers no matter what you read about China always bear in mind that politics comes first. It is more important than lives, morals, history, families, science, economics. Everything is subservient to politics, everything. Not saying is good or bad - it is just the CCP "way".

The CCP doesn’t really care what people outside China think about it. It comes off as crass because they plays well at home, and they are immune to public opinion anywhere else.

I don't think it's about "politics" it's about power and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is about what they say it's about it. This is just the way they are going about it.
