Mandarin-language Information Operations Regarding Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
On Feb. 22, Russian President Vladimir Putin released a televised address establishing a historical basis for aggression against Ukraine related to the eastern encroachment of NATO and historical ill-feeling between the West and Russia, emphasizing the "de-Nazification of Ukraine." is one of the main reasons for launching military operations. However, the propaganda cooperation between China and Russia has been around for a long time. In this speech, we take the Chinese and Russian media combining the Azov Battalion with Hong Kong's "Anti-ELAB Movement" as an example to illustrate how China and Russia cooperate to spread disinformation to the Mandarin-speaking world and influence the attitudes of Chinese readers. In addition, we also analyze Weibo and Facebook's data from February 22 to March 8, with "Nazis" and "Azov Battalion" as keywords, to see the trends on different platforms.
