While the Russian meddling in U.S. elections has been discussed the most in the past few years, it is the Chinese communists who are increasingly joining the league, said author Joshua Kurlantzick.

“By spreading disinformation on social media platforms, all the major U.S. social media platforms caught ... what they believe to be Chinese efforts to spread disinformation or divide Americans possibly to support candidates [in elections] who were more sympathetic to China,” Kurlantzick said in an interview on Nov. 10 with NTD, a sister media outlet of The Epoch Times.
