DisinfoWatch’s Marcus Kolga is interviewed in the Global News report above about influence operations during the 2021 federal election.
Global News’ Alex Boutilier writes in his report:
“…Independent research group DisinfoWatch recently claimed to have observed “Chinese government media and pro-Beijing actors publishing and promoting disinformation narratives on various platforms, including Global Times, WeChat, and local Canadian-Chinese websites.”
The Chinese state-run outlet Global Times reported during the campaign that the Conservatives’ stance on Canada-China relations would “invite counterstrikes” should O’Toole become prime minister.”
