Beijing is suspected of infiltrating Australia with gambling crime syndicates, using online gambling websites and a large number of AI-generated fake social media accounts to spread and promote false information.

Australian intelligence said that the Chinese communist regime used a transnational gambling crime syndicate based in Myanmar to push false information about Australian politics, such as “The Voice to Parliament” referendum, through the group’s online forums and chat rooms, The Daily Telegraph reported.
