Reply to comment by Chruman in China intensifies disinformation, cyberattacks on Taiwan: report by Wagamaga

Effectively, yes. Sometimes it's by people who are straight up malicious. Sometimes it's by "innocent" people who genuinely believe the nonsense. Alex Jones would be a good example of the first, anyones parents could be an example of the second. Both dangerous, but with completely different intentions.

The US as a state actor is not perpetratrating a disinformation campaign against itself. That is utterly ridiculous. It serves 0 purpose to the US to create instability.

Sure, some people in the US are acting in bad faith and even maliciously, but to say the US as an entity is doing it is misleading.
