If you read CNA’s coverage of this issue, the themes used in China’s social media influence campaign are basically identical to a lot of what gets posted in this sub.
They reportedly pushed false complaints about Takaichi’s positions on immigration and the cost of living, labeled her as far-right, tried to inflame anger at the U.S. over tariffs, claimed she’s paving the way for militarism and historical revisionism, and argued that she’s increasing the social security burden on younger generations.
The overlap is hard to ignore.
