| Subject: China's propaganda spreads beyond its borders via Facebook groups Fri May 31, 2019 9:50 pm | |
| Facebook groups with thousands of members are helping to build public support for China’s controversial Belt and Road Initiative in English-speaking countries, including Australia.
The groups publicise stories around China’s plan for global economic integration while criticising the Western rule-based order, sometimes using Russian-backed media.
The group 21SilkRoad, which includes Australians, shares a mix of news and material linked to Russia’s global propaganda apparatus, to “build a virtual community of the major centres along the Belt and Road Initiative megaproject”.
