Over the past decade, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been using multiple media channels to influence and manipulate Chinese communities in America. The CCP has expanded its communication channels with streaming television over the internet, and social media and messaging with WeChat.
CCP leader Xi Jinping has spoken about China’s media convergence strategies on several occasions, stating that: “We should fully utilize new technologies and new applications to innovate media communication methods and seize the high ground of information dissemination” and “wherever readers and audiences are, our propaganda and reports should reach there, and our efforts and focus in ideological work should be placed there.”
