  • Chinese Government Influence on the U.S. Media Landscape
    Chinese Government Influence on the U.S. Media Landscape Written Testimony by Sarah Cook Senior Research Analyst for East Asia, Freedom House Testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission Hearing on China’s Information Controls, Global Media Influence, and Cyber Warfare Strategy May 4, 2017 Introduction Reuters establishes a new round of internal vetting on stories about human rights in China after its English and Chinese websites are blocked.1 Radio stations in fifteen U.S. cities broadcast content provided by Chinese state-run media.2 Tech giant Apple removes the New York Times’ mobile-phone applications from its download store in China with little explanation.3 And several rounds of crippling cyberattacks hit the New York-based servers of New Tang Dynasty Television and The Epoch Times newspaper’s websites.4 These are a small sample of incidents that have occurred over the past three years. Collectively, they illustrate various ways in which Chinese Communist Party (CCP) information controls—in terms of both censorship and propaganda—extend beyond mainland China’s borders and influence the media landscape in the United States. This testimony summarizes and supplements a 2013 study I authored of this phenomenon globally—The Long Shadow of Chinese Censorship,5 while attempting to offer updates on its recent evolution as it pertains to the American news media sector. The CCP and various Chinese government entities, have long sought to influence public debate and media coverage about China in the United States, particularly among Chinese language communities. However, over the past decade, these efforts have expanded and intensified.

  • China's Stealth War Against America 3.97
    China’s Stealth War against America 3.97 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 07/23/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 93) Background Briefing – China’s Stealth War against America, the World, and You! China is waging a stealth war against America and the world, yet many do not understand the long-term implications. It has gone beyond kinetic warfare and into monetary policy, trade policy, and industrial policy. This briefing provides a quick overview of how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is waging their economic war around the world and their continued plans to use 5G to control the information economy. Also, we will review some of the efforts the Trump administration is taking to slow down China’s assault. Unfortunately, there are still many on Wall Street and within Washington who view China as an economic partner that America needs rather than an adversary that is truly working against our interest, free markets, and liberty. We are in an economic war, and what we see as a marketplace, China views as the battlespace. Your Mission: To understand what you can do to stop the economic war China is waging against your money, your livelihood, your way of life is critical. “The Chinese Communist Party really is what it sounds like. It’s communist. It’s a Marxist/Leninist regime bent on control…using predatory or parasitic economic activity and policies to actually undermine democracies.” – Brig. Gen.

  • Twisting the Truth: Ongoing Inauthentic Activity Promoting Falun Gong, the Epoch Times and Truth Media Targets Australians on Facebook Introduction
    Covid-19 Disinformation and social media manipulation Elise Thomas Twisting the truth: ongoing inauthentic activity promoting Falun Gong, the Epoch Times and Truth Media targets Australians on Facebook Introduction This short investigation examines two suspicious Facebook pages that promote content supportive of Falun Gong and its associated media entities, including the Epoch Times and New Tang Dynasty (NTD) media, yet don’t declare any direct affiliation. Both pages display behaviours reminiscent of two networks previously removed from the platform, which Facebook attributed as linked to Truth Media and Epoch Media Group. One of the pages is run primarily by Australian-based moderators, while the other is run from Vietnam. These pages are using different strategies, including paid advertisements, systematically sharing content into Australian Facebook groups (including fringe and conspiracy groups), and attempting to drive traffic to Epoch Times and Falun Gong-affiliated sites. Despite the different approaches, however, the pages are broadly aligned in their messaging and seek to influence Australians on a range of issues, including Australia’s relationship with China, opinions of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), and the leadership of the Victorian state government. Falun Gong and its supporters in Australia are entitled to participate in the national conversation, including advocating for their own interests and expressing their criticisms of media and government. However, the use of covert tactics and inauthentic social media activity in an effort to conceal who is behind those efforts isn’t acceptable in democratic societies such as Australia and may constitute a violation of the social media platform’s policies. Background to previous inauthentic Facebook activity linked to Falun Gong Falun Gong is a religious movement with members and supporters around the globe.

  • Nationalism in the Civil Movements of Euromaidan and Sunflower Movement
    Nationalism in the Civil Movements of Euromaidan and Sunflower Movement By Fei Chen Wen Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Relations Supervisor: Dr. Thomas Fetzer CEU eTD Collection Word Count: 16,190 Budapest, Hungary 2016 Abstract Euromaidan and Sunflower Movement, both breaking out in 2014, were publicly proclaimed as civil movements. They shared many similarities: both began with the government’s decision to sign or not sign a trade agreement with the historically significant other country—Russia and China, both were student-led, both were violently oppressed by the government, and both led to the change of regimes directly immediately after Euromaidan and later in the national election after Sunflower Movement. Despite the civic elements of the two movements, this study argues that they were nationalistic movements in the guise of civic movements and aims to understand through the case of the two movements, what nationalistic sentiments could inform about social movements. Given their internal similarities in the movements and external similarities of history, domestic politics and geopolitical locations, the current study applies the framework proposed by Goodman1 to examine nationalism in three aspects: ideologies, institutions, and interests. The study draws from the background of nationalism of the two countries to discuss the pattern that Euromaidan and the CEU eTD Collection Sunflower Movement both demonstrated and contributes to the literature of the role of nationalism in social movements. 1 Goodman, “Nationalism as a Social Movement.” ii Acknowledgements I have the honor to join the IRES program in Central European University and complete a thesis on Ukraine and Taiwan with the help of many of my teachers, friends, and most importantly, my families.
