Recommendation

China has been using a variety of methods to infuse foreign news reports with a pro-China bias, as journalists Louisa Lim and Julia Bergin explain in this piece for The Guardian. The article is well-researched and enlightening, although a bit light on the fact that even Western reporting on China can be – and often is – biased. Nonetheless, Lim and Bergin’s five-month investigation provides an invaluable glimpse into the new world of information warfare.

Take-Aways

  • Through both overt and covert means, China is pursuing a sophisticated information campaign to promote China’s image, worldview and interests abroad.
  • China’s state-run television and news agency have been successfully recruiting foreign journalists to report “the news from a Chinese perspective.”
  • Today, radio stations in 35 countries broadcast content produced by state-run China Radio International.
