/ world today news/ “The US Strategic Competition Act, approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 2021, allows the US government for five consecutive years to allocate funds to train journalists worldwide to create disinformation against China,” said Jan Oberg, an independent researcher from Europe and founder of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research. The law also mentions Xinjiang nearly 20 times and provides for Washington to interfere in China’s internal affairs through issues related to the autonomous region.
In recent years, the US has seen China as its biggest strategic competitor and has launched a massive campaign to contain and contain its development, attacking it on issues such as the Belt and Road Initiative, economic issues and Xinjiang.
Relying on its dominant position in the world, the US also copies its model of disinformation everywhere. US government agencies located in various countries are working with their allies to train local journalists to write reports discrediting Chinese projects and companies. Each of them, as long as they publish one negative news related to China, can receive $1,000 from American agents.
In 2021, the German writer Michael Lüders pointed out in his book “False Saint America” that the American government is extremely capable of switching the places of good and evil and misleading public opinion by distorting the facts. He hopes through his book to remind people to think independently and not be misled by media suggestions manipulated by Washington. Chandran Nair, founder of the Global Futures Research Institute, also calls for this. “We need more non-Western sources of information so that readers can learn more about global issues and not become victims of the West’s war on public opinion,” he says.
