The Chinese regime employs online trolls to push its agenda on the internet. They are commonly referred to as the “50-cent army,” so named because they are paid 50 cents for each online post that praises the Communist Party’s policies, or insults those who express opinions that stray from the Party line.

They are typically ordinary citizens hired by internet companies or the regime’s censorship and propaganda departments.
