The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using TikTok to wage unrestricted warfare on the United States by indoctrinating American youngsters with the Chinese regime’s values, according to Casey Fleming, CEO of intelligence, strategy, and cybersecurity firm BlackOps Partners.
“Social media is a tool in their war chest. So they use it as an intelligence weapon, and also a cognitive weapon to distribute propaganda, to change your children’s values and your values into much more stronger values toward the CCP, and against Americans, or against the left or against the right, or Democrats or Republicans, or black or white, to start to stir up that infighting,” Fleming told “China in Focus” on NTD, the sister media outlet of The Epoch Times.
