Misinformation is the status-quo. The CCP is a peer power to America, and they're matching the same propaganda outlets like Hollywood and social media with their own forms. It's a credibly modern response to tactics used by nations like America and Israel to influence public opinion. Seems like you agree that it's an effective strategy.

My point moreover is that this guy is hand-wringing about things that have been normalized under capitalist influence for decades. It's only unfair to him when America's adversaries copy their tactics, because he'd never hold America up to the same measure. It's an obvious double-standard that undermines his attempt to highlight a phenomenon.

Comrade, China has leveraged state-sponsored industrial espionage to steal trillions of dollars in research and development, looting proprietary technology from all major Western firms like Boeing, Google,Tesla, etc. They are responsible for the greatest transfer of wealth in human history, all from theft.

You are defending the indefensible.
