China’s communist regime is using the pro-Palestinian campus protests to discredit the U.S. government and amplify social divisions. This online activity, experts say, is part of China’s information warfare or psyop—psychological operation—to weaken the United States by causing Americans to fight each other.
Researchers have traced such Israel–Hamas war-related campaigns to a multi-year online influence operation known as “Spamouflage” or “Dragonbridge,” which Meta found had links to Chinese law enforcement.
