Title might want to be altered: this is a description of a specific research paper analyzing Chinese online propaganda campaigns, not as general an analysis as the title indicates. Interesting stuff!

- cryoshon 10y agoThanks for the excellent link, I've been looking for a documentary on Putin's propaganda regime that I saw a few years ago, but this paper is a much deeper look which will serve the same purpose.
- alphonsegaston 10y agoIf you want more context on Putin's regime, check out, "Nothing is True and Everything is Possible" by Peter Pomerantsev. It's an inside view of Russian life/propaganda from someone who worked as a TV producer for a Russian network: https://www.amazon.com/Nothing-True-Everything-Possible-Surreal/dp/1610396006 https://www.amazon.com/Nothing-True-Everything-Possible-Surr...
- ConfuciusSay02 10y agoRemember that RAND was one of the big cheerleaders for the Iraq war. If you want an impartial analysis, you're not going to find it from war-mongering "think tank" imbeciles.
- jtcond13 10y agoIt's a reference to the nonsense 'controversies' created by Donald Trump.
- bbctol 10y agoYes, but the link isn't actually about that.
