China is spending billions of dollars a year to shape perceptions of China through influence, censorship and disinformation in a large-scale campaign that could threaten global freedoms, the United States has said.
“Beijing has invested billions of dollars to construct a global information ecosystem that promotes its propaganda and facilitates censorship and the spread of disinformation,” the State Department spokesperson said in a statement on Thursday following the publication of the Global Engagement Center’s report.
美国表示，中国每年花费数十亿美元，通过影响力、审查制度和虚假信息来塑造人们对中国的看法，这可能会威胁到全球自由。
美国国务院发言人周四在全球参与中心的报告发表后发表声明称：“北京已投资数十亿美元建设全球信息生态系统，以促进其宣传、审查和虚假信息的传播。”
