China has been using various communication channels to influence the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of a target audience. They are trying to push promoting a particular ideology, undermining the credibility of an opponent, or mobilizing support for a cause. The American people are already compromised with information that China has. There have been various reports and allegations of cyber attacks and intellectual property theft by Chinese hackers against US government agencies, companies, and individuals. Some of these attacks have reportedly targeted sensitive information related to military, economic, and technological capabilities of the US. The goal for China is to have a “military campaign against the United States to convince Americans to give up their society.”
