> Between the lines: Like those of other nations, Chinese state-run media have resisted U.S. Justice Department demands to register under FARA, a law originally created to expose Nazi propaganda in the U.S. Prior to their disclosures, these Chinese media organs operated in the shadows, unencumbered by FARA requirements requiring disclosure about their structures and finances.

So it's not that they've increased their spending. It's that their existing spending has now been correctly categorized.

It seems to me that all a foreign power has to do has to generate enough twitter/fake news saying "OMG we are running out of toilet paper/gas", and watch America crumble.

It is like the covid virus is not the one doing the damage; it is the immune system's own response, the cytokine storm.

Trump starts "trade war" with China. Chinese virus matching weapons project funded by Fauci himself hits America. Only cure for said virus is destoy USA economy and all its freedoms. Hmmm

No no no. Fauci is working with Gates, the Reptilians, and the child molesting secret society pizza eaters to implant micro chips in people to convince them that birds are real.
