Swaying them to vote...for who? Remind me which US political party would align with Chinese interests. Are they staging a massive coup for the CPUSA?

The dialogue in this next US election is gonna be really ugly for Asian-Americans.
For sure, lots of questioning loyalties and "you're not a real American if you don't vote X side".
Wonder what new slur they'll create for Asians similar to the one they created for Russians last year...
i don't think that the question is about voting for x, your loyalties will be questioned based on your looks, so it's going to be really bad for people of asian descent, even if u were born in the country or are there many generations. we seen this in world war 2, when japan attacked, the government made concentration camps for japonese people, even tho they had no involvement in the war or even any ties to japan
lol reminds me of that old reddit comment thread of some really pissed off white person going "eliminate all of those Asians".
Another user from SEA: "Just the Chinese, the rest of us are good"
First guy: "NO, ALL OF YOU"
These stupid crackers think we're all Chinese anyway. Even if they made the distinction mentally they wouldn't actually conduct their hate crimes with any accuracy.
COVID hate crimes targeted Filipinos, Koreans, Vietnamese, etc.

To Sway US Voters in which direction?
To the party that hates China (Blue) or the party that hates China (Red)?
The funniest part here is that these kinds of articles sowing mistrust in the electoral process are doing far more damage than China could ever hope to achieve. Both liberal and conservative media continue to fuel the idea that elections are rigged and that the other side is cheating to win. US is now at a point where large portions of the public think that elections are unfair and if their party doesn't win that must be because the other side cheated or some foreign actor interfered in the elections.
Democracy is fundamentally a social contract that people choose to abide by. People have to believe that the system is fundamentally fair, and when their side loses then they have to accept that as a democratic choice. However, once the trust in the system is broken then there is no reason to respect election results. At that point people see the winner as an illegitimate tyrant that rules over them. The country ends up in a very volatile territory once the idea that the system is rigged starts to take hold.

It's the ingeneous sit back and let the US slowly destroy itself strategy that seems to be working out pretty well.

source: their ass
What interest would they have in swaying voters between 2 different wings of the same imperialist party that both want the destruction of the PRC lol
: "Let's mess with their political system. As a joke."
Beginning to think that Americans on social media are feeble minded babies with no agency of their own swayed in whichever direction foreign shills and bots want to take them in.
It's not just Americans. It's anyone who stays on social media for too long. You can actively defend for some time, but if you spend 4-5 hours a day on Facebook, you're bound to get trapped in this shit.
Hell, even here on Lemmy there are instances full of nutjobs circlejerking over the political flavor of the week...
The bigger point is that the USA is pretty much the technological leader of the world and a frontrunner in information warfare. All the major social media companies have to have close ties with the US state department to be able to function at the scale at which they do. So why is it that Russo-Chinese bots and shills are running circles around Americans?
Projection, as always. Ever heard about google ads running pro-ukraine videos? Or perhaps about auto-callers, dialing numbers in Russia with pre-recorded anti-government messages?
And that's even before we get into the NGOs
Russiagate has always been copium for Western liberals who cannot accept the fact that reactionary tendencies are weaved into the fabric of their culture and institutions so they tell themselves bullshit like how their redneck racist uncle only voted for Trump and is anti-abortion because Putin seductively whispered some arcane incantation in his ear. In truth Russia's propaganda is not very effectual
- In 2017 before RT was shut down in the UK, it accounted for 0.04 percent of the UK’s total TV audience.[1]
- A New York University study published earlier this year found that the supposed Russian Twitter influence campaign ahead of the 2016 election which dominated headlines for years had had “no measurable impact in changing minds or influencing voter behavior”.[2]
- An earlier study found that suspected Russian accounts showing up in Facebook’s news feed during that time amounted to “approximately 1 out of 23,000 pieces of content.”[3]
- A study by Adelaide University found that despite headline after headline warning us about a massive wave of Russian bots manipulating online discourse after the invasion of Ukraine began last year, the overwhelming majority of fake accounts they examined (more than 90 percent) were pro-Ukraine accounts.[4]

Ok so, Putin sponsoring Trump sounds ... eh, at least there's some kind of proximity in discourse
But who the fuuuuuck do they think China is willing the burgerlanders to vote for??? The communist party??? There are two electorally viable parties and both are super anti-China. It just doesn't make sense
Russiagate got stale so they're going to use Chinagate this time lol
For a country that harps on about personal responsibility we sure do blame everybody but ourselves for the fact posting racist Facebook memes is an effective way to influence the beliefs of 60% of this country.
This never happens in Burgerland!

I guess the "Russiagate" stuff only goes so far.
Russia, one day; China, the next. Perhaps, Iran, after that?
Usania vs. BRICS
What's that thing the World always does when one superpower takes on a whole coalition at once? Yeah, get ready for one of those.

Is Microsoft trying to win some huge government contract? I don't understand why they would put their neck out there like this. I imagine China is a big market for them.
How would Microsoft even know this? They make software, they're not a counter espionage group. It's just some poor appeal to authority or something.
Microsoft definitely has a large enough employee base of security dweebs to put together a team to do stuff like this for a government contract

Chinese ai on social media to sway US voters
Ukraine 2: Taiwan Boogaloo coming soon in Spring 2024
this article is just- what??
This won't work nearly as well as Russiagate considering most of America is expecting someone to cheat in the upcoming election.
I'm sorry you had to find out like this. It's true. I've been a bot all along 🤖🇨🇳
