    China, however, has taken a more cautious, nuanced approach. Beijing sees little advantage in supporting one presidential candidate over the other, intelligence analysts say. Instead, China’s disinformation efforts focus on campaign issues particularly important to Beijing

    Oh no if we can trust unnamed “intelligence analysts”, you know, probably the same people who manufactured russiagate, spend billions on foreign desinformation campaigns and are famous for toppling democratically elected officials around the world, then China is accused of meddling in the elections! Allegedly, they do it by providing, well… impartial and relevant information without favoring any candidate. But they cunningly limit their evil public relations campaign to issues pertaining to their own country, which is… bad for some reason.

    And even more wicked: by pretending to be Americans, they evade the natural American defense mechanism against r̶e̶a̶s̶o̶n̶ outside influence: racism. How will we know to ignore their logic and their pleas for peace and cooperation, if we don’t know their skin color?! Heavens! If this is allowed to continue, the rampant preparations for a nuclear apocalypse inducing war against China might continue to accelerate in a somewhat less feverish frenzy! Better crank internet cencorship up to eleven stat, that’s the only way to protect democracy. /s
