|---|---|---|
| “In December, Zhao Lijian was widely criticised for sharing a fake image of an Australian soldier killing an Afghan child, for which China refused to apologise.” | The disinformation tactics used by China | The fake image was, in fact, a political artwork, akin to a political cartoon. The subject matter was not fake, as an Australian investigation into the soldiers found. |
| “To the unsuspecting reader, they might appear as patriotic citizens acting independently, but frequently they are taking directions from Chinese authorities.” | The disinformation tactics used by China | Claim made with no evidence whatsoever. |
| A BBC investigation in May 2020 found hundreds of fake or hijacked social media accounts promoting pro-China messages on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Some 1,200 accounts targeted people critical of how Beijing was handling the pandemic. | The disinformation tactics used by China | Her own words “There was no definitive evidence tying these accounts to the Chinese government, but it did display similar characteristics to the state-backed network removed by Facebook and Twitter in 2019.” That is, the BBC investigation is pure conjecture. |
| “China zoo 'tries to pass dog off as wolf'” | China zoo 'tries to pass dog off as wolf' | In her words, “An employee confirmed this to local media, and said that the dog, which had been raised as a watchdog by the park, was only being kept there temporarily.” Of course, don't make the actual reason a feature. |
