The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) Hong Kong and East Turkistan propaganda is whitewashing genocide and human rights abuses, and enabling transnational repression.
To inform the public and policymakers, this report analyzes a broad spectrum of the CCP’s propaganda practices, including official state media, participatory propaganda, and amplification through coordinated inauthentic behavior (CIB).
Throughout 2021 and 2022, we collected 1,647 East Turkistan and 5,704 Hong Kong Twitter/X posts by official state media accounts in Chinese to analyze this broad spectrum of propaganda.
