Moolenaar addresses Chinese social media influence on US elections

Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) released a statement following reports that a Chinese social media influence operation posed as American voters and disseminated divisive messaging ahead of the presidential election in November.

“The Chinese Communist Party has previously used TikTok to censor the news Americans read and attempted to manipulate Taiwan’s presidential elections earlier this year. It’s no surprise the CCP is now using fraudulent social media accounts to target our upcoming elections. We encourage social media companies to expose the CCP’s propaganda campaign and take action against CCP bots that are trying to deceive Americans.”
