While it may have more resources, state level actors are just as prone to a low level worker wanting to just get it over with so they can go home as any other large bureaucracy. Sure some plans are tripple vetted and done with extreme care, but sometimes someone just says at 4PM on a Friday “Hey Carl, can we get a few bots on these tweets?” That said, I also wouldn’t say that just because it came out of China it has to be the government at work anyway. Plenty of small bot groups get made by a person who really cares about X thing, and there are plenty of super patriotic Chinese citizens on the Chinese web.
