Media Technology Government

Event Summary

China's Communist government is increasingly using social media and artificial intelligence to spread its narratives globally, counter Western influence, and mock the United States and its president, Donald Trump. This strategy, championed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, involves creating AI-generated animations and videos that portray the United States as a global bully, such as allegories for the war in Iran or lampooning Trump's past threats regarding Denmark — Greenland. The United States — United States Department of State has warned that these foreign messaging campaigns pose a direct threat to U.S. national security. This development signifies an intensifying global information war, with both China and the United States vowing to enhance their efforts in this domain.
