China isn’t a smaller threat though because, in the same way that Russian bot farms didn’t have to be domestic to manipulate MAGA heads in to trying to topple our democracy, the CCP does not need to be a domestic power to have really destructive influence in the democratic process (which is their goal).

This idea that the CCP is some benign force just sitting “over there out of everyone’s way” is naive to say the least. The Internet is one of the prime places where they attempt to control narrative.

You realize the CCP absolutely does have global social engineering campaigns, right?

You know how MAGA idiots got fooled by Russian bot farms? That’s you and the CCP. They don’t care about you as an individual the way they do their own dissidents, but they absolutely do want to influence people like you in order to sow chaos, violence and political discord in the US. They see you as a repeater for their propaganda network.

If you can find any Uighurs left ask them if Chinese atrocities are “made up”.

Do better.

I mean, how many employees do they seriously have supporting Apex? There’s the guy who makes the skins to sell and the dude who makes a new character every 6 months. I guess they fired the guy who presses reset on the servers when they crash? It’s not exactly a high maintenance kind of game.
