CHINA-INTERNAL: PROPAGANDA/SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT

 Gary King, Margaret Roberts and Jennifer Pan of Harvard University in a study released this month (May 2016) and titled 'How the Chinese Government Fabricates Social Media Posts for Strategic Distraction, not Engaged Argument', estimated that the Chinese government fabricates and posts about 488 million social media comments a year, indicating a high level of coordination on the part of the government. Their sample finds that more than 99% of the fifty-cent party comments analysed originate from government offices, rather than freelance fifty-centers.
