On The Same Page? Anti-US Propaganda Similar In Iran, Russia, China
China, Iran, and Russia are using the COVID-19 crisis as an opportunity to spread anti-US messaging.
According to Business Insider, that's the message from the US State Department. Its report is not publicly available, but was viewed by Politico.
The disinformation campaigns are similar and include language that the coronavirus is an American bioweapon spread by US troops.
Another claim is that the US is scoring political points from the crisis, and that all three governments — unlike the US — are managing the crisis well.
Though China tightly controls the internet within its own country, it has reportedly allowed the foreign propaganda to flourish.
