Topic:
With the rise of Chinese digital platforms such as Deepseek, Xiaohongshu (RedNote) and TikTok, the Communist Party of China expands its potential to influence young European audiences. These platforms align with a broader public opinion influence strategy that includes recruiting foreign influencers, so called “wolf warriors”, censorship and spreading disinformation. This panel explores the various tactics of the Communist Party of China to spread disinformation in order to gain global influence.
Taiwan has long served as a frontline in resisting Beijing’s influence. Through a strong civil society, digital resilience, and public trust in government, it has made great effort countering Chinese disinformation campaigns through the pandemic and afterwards—without resorting to (heavy-handed) censorship. What lessons can Germany and Europe learn from Taiwan’s approach? What are the implications of Chinese influence campaigns strategies and how can democratic societies build resilience against foreign disinformation?
