US: China Exploits George Floyd to Spread Chinese Communist Party's Propaganda
A statement entitled "On the Chinese Communist Party’s Obscene Propaganda" released by Michael R. Pompeo, SECRETARY OF STATE, USA on June 6, 2020:
"The Chinese Communist Party’s callous exploitation of the tragic death of George Floyd to justify its authoritarian denial of basic human dignity exposes its true colors yet again. As with dictatorships throughout history, no lie is too obscene, so long as it serves the Party’s lust for power. This laughable propaganda should not fool anyone.
...Beijing in recent days has showcased its continuing contempt for the truth and scorn for law. The CCP’s propaganda efforts – seeking to conflate the United States’ actions in the wake of the death of George Floyd with the CCP’s continued denial of basic human rights and freedom – should be seen for the fraud that they are."

Coronavirus: Inside the pro-China network targeting the US, Hong Kong and an exiled tycoon
//A BBC investigation has found that hundreds of fake or hijacked social media accounts have been pushing pro-Chinese government messages about the pandemic on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube.
//The network, consisting of more than 1,200 accounts, displays features similar to a state-backed information operation originating in China that was removed from social media platforms last year. The BBC found evidence that at least some of the pages and accounts originally belonged to users from Bangladesh before they were hijacked or sold.
//These accounts have been attacking whoever’s critical of China’s handling of the outbreak while praising Beijing’s response. They seem to have a relatively low impact however with follower counts that were nowhere near levels that would be considered highly influential.
//A few among those accounts have a long history and have posted criticism of anti-Chinese government protests in Hong Kong last summer.
//Experts say the purpose of networks like this is to create the impression that a lot of social media users support a particular narrative or group, but the operation of this particular network seems too crude to convince most.

China Claims "Hundreds of Espionage Cases" from Taiwan; Broadcasts "Confession Video" from Taiwanese Man
On Oct 11, one day after Taiwan's national day, China's state media, CCTV, announced that China's national security bureau has recently arrested a large number of "spies" from Taiwan involved in hundreds of espionage cases.
30 minutes after the news was reported by the CCTV, Global Times, a newspaper owned by Chinese Communist Party government, published a detailed story of how a Taiwanese called Lee Meng-chu (李孟居) was suspected of "violating national security" by participating in Hong Kong's Anti-ELAB movement in August 2019.
According to this China's state owned media, Lee arrived in Hong Kong on August 18 and took some photos at the protest. Lee crossed the border to Shenzhen the next day. He was later arrested in Shenzhen when he was about to leave on Aug 20, 2019.
On Oct 31, 2019, Chinese authorities authorized the national security bureau to "officially arrested" Lee, but Lee has reportedly been detained by China since August.
Lee's confession was broadcasted on China's CCTV. In the video, Lee "confessed" that he was "swayed" by pro-Taiwan independence sentiments. He also said that he "regretted" joining the activities that "went against China and brought chaos to Hong Kong". He said in front of the camera that "Taiwan independence" and "Hong Kong independence" are "dead-ends".
According to the Guangdong branch of China's national security bureau, there were many more cases related to the involvement of Hong Kong affairs. The Chinese authorities warned that any infringement of Hong Kong's national security law may result in sentences lasting from 3 years in jail, all the way to a life sentence.
After the news came out on China's state media, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council (#MAC) condemned China for causing harm to the cross-strait relationship and affecting the normal daily life of Taiwanese.
