A translation project is exposing pro-Russian sentiment on Chinese social media to the outside world, challenging Beijing’s image of neutrality in the Ukraine conflict.
. On the global stage, Beijing has avoided openly supporting or condemning the invasion.
Chinese state media have labeled the project a smear campaign and point out that online discourse in the West is also laden with extremist views. Critics also say the tone of some of the Twitter account’s posts could stoke hostility toward Chinese and other Asians around the world. Most of the content is translated into English, but the account also has posts in Japanese, German, Korean, French, Spanish and Arabic. It has also begun posting aboutPro-Ukraine posts and hashtags appear to have been suppressed on Chinese platforms, and Chinese state media have amplified disinformation and conspiracy theories that favor Russia.
“The Chinese Communist Party has been supporting Russia, both explicitly and implicitly, in this war in Ukraine,” said the volunteer, a Chinese citizen who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of being arrested. “Public opinion propaganda leads to the conclusion that Russia is righteous and has no choice but to [invade]. As a result of this propaganda, many Chinese people do not understand the situation and support Russia.
“It’s a very asymmetrical information warfare being played by the Chinese side,” Yang said. “As you can see on Twitter, all these Chinese state media have hundreds of official accounts broadcasting their propaganda to the West every day, but we can’t get our message across to the 1.4 billion Chinese living inside China.”
