Intel Agency: China Planned To ‘Encourage’ Riots To Hurt Trump
This article discusses allegations that China aimed too influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election by encouraging social unrest and racial tensions, notably through the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. Declassified documents from the White House reveal that Chinese intelligence sought to stoke violent protests and exploit societal divisions, using mainstream and social media platforms to spread pro-riot narratives and exacerbate conflicts between police and activists. The documents suggest that the corporate media may have unknowingly or knowingly promoted Chinese propaganda, contributing to the unrest and political destabilization. Some commentators, including the Heritage Foundation, highlighted Chinese funding behind BLM protests and urged investigations into Chinese influence. The article also criticizes media outlets like Axios for dismissing narratives linking BLM to Chinese efforts, despite evidence suggesting Chinese involvement. the piece raises concerns about foreign interference in American domestic politics and the role of media in shaping public perception.
The Chinese planned to stoke Black Lives Matter riots and other social unrest in 2020, using the corporate media to launder the narrative in order to tank the election for President Donald Trump, according to documents released by the White House on Thursday.
Intelligence summaries from 2020, which were apparently hidden from the president at the time, show that the Chinese planned on “encouraging violent demonstrations and looting to increase the appearance of social unrest” ahead of the election, and to “exploit U.S. societal fissures and vulnerabilities,” in part by “alleging that White people hate Black people.”
The Chinese were interested in “inciting demonstrations and marches as evidence of racial divides; increasing the level of conflict between police and anti-racism activists; and feeding any sense that U.S. law enforcement resents USG and people of color,” according to one intelligence summary from a “sensitive government agency.”
The document stated that “China had developed capabilities to project themes on these topics into social media (Tiktok, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others), as well as mainstream media through a variety of overt and hidden influencers and media contributors.”
In other words, the documents highlight the potential that the corporate media fueling race riots and unrest in 2020 were either knowingly pushing Chinese propaganda to alter the election, or were too dense to realize it.
The media encouraged demands for a “racial reckoning,” corporate capitulation to the BLM mob, billions in damages from burning American cities to the ground, and the degradation of institutions in order to unevenly apply the law on racial grounds, apparently in line with the wishes of the Chinese government.
Some in the media, however, appeared to not only advance Chinese propaganda, but also to orchestrate cover for the Chinese once people started to catch wind.
In September 2020, The Heritage Foundation highlighted the possibility of Chinese influence in the BLM riots. Heritage noted that 95 percent of the riots were linked to BLM and pointed out evidence that Chinese activist groups were funding them, stating, “The U.S. government should connect the dots and investigate the extent of the Chinese Communist Party’s support for the Black Lives Matter organization and the riots.”
One month later, when the argument started gaining steam — and only a few weeks out from Election Day — Axios dutifully ran the headline “Right-wing media falsely ties Black Lives Matter movement to Beijing.”
Axios explicitly supported the BLM riots. CEO Jim VandeHei encouraged his staff to join them and said the company would pay for bail if they were arrested and medical bills if they were injured.
“We proudly support and encourage you to exercise your rights to free speech, press, and protest. If you’re arrested or meet harm while exercising these rights, Axios will stand behind you and use the Family Fund to cover your bail or assist with medical bills,” he said in an email to staff.
