"U.S. intelligence officials have reportedly determined that Chinese operatives helped spread messages that aimed to spark alarm about the coronavirus pandemic starting in mid-March.
The New York Times, citing six American officials across different intelligence agencies, reported Wednesday that the messages prompted the intelligence apparatus to examine the new techniques China, Russia and other nations are using to spread disinformation about the outbreak.
In particular, they were startled by the ability of the disinformation campaign to pop up in the form of text messages on many Americans’ cellphones, an amplification technique that some of the officials told the Times they had not seen before."
Evidence shows China hid early knowledge of the outbreak, misled the world while they refused to act to prevent the global spread of COVID-19, has still refused to share all information, and has engaged in misinformation campaigns to continue to mislead the world. While the GOP / Trump administration continues to put pressure on and hold China accountable, Democrats continue their attacks on the President.
Has House Intel Committee Chairman Schiff even held 1 hearing about this yet?
