The Sino-Russian propaganda against the U.S.

Introduction

Under President Xi Jinping, China has significantly expanded its political warfare and influence operations, targeting countries like the United States with sophisticated campaigns. These efforts blend propaganda, covert infiltration, and proxy actors to shape perceptions and policy decisions in Beijing’s favor. What was once a defensive and domestic-focused approach has evolved into a far more assertive global strategy aimed at advancing China’s national interests and undermining rival powers. The following report analyzes the strategic objectives behind China’s influence campaigns, the methods and tactics employed, key organizations driving these efforts, and notable case studies. It also assesses the impact on U.S. national security and politics, outlines American responses, and offers recommendations to safeguard U.S. interests.
