China and US Trade Accusations of Disinformation

The US State Department accuses China of expanding disinformation efforts, but China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs claims that the report itself is disinformation. The US report alleges that China spends billions of dollars on foreign information manipulation and warns of Chinese leader Xi Jinping's efforts to shape the global information environment. China retaliates by accusing the US of being an "empire of lies" and engaging in propaganda and perception warfare.
