- Aunche 6y agoI don't disagree that China engages in global disinformation. I wouldn't have any problem with your comment if you had originally listed any of the sources above instead of the Wikipedia entry for the 50 cent army. My issue is that people on Hackernews and Reddit claim that anyone who says something that can remotely be interpreted as defending China must be a 50-cent shill. These supposed fighters of disinformation don't even bother to check whether is any evidence that the CCP is paying people to comment on English websites.
