Original title: The true colors of the CIA should be exposed as thoroughly as possible
Reuters exclusively broke the news on March 14 that according to former U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the highly classified operation, then-U.S. President Trump authorized the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to launch a covert operation on Chinese social media aimed at ” Turn Chinese public opinion against the Chinese government.” I believe many people are not surprised when they see this information, and they don’t even regard it as “news”. It uses various shady means to instigate “peaceful evolution” and “color revolutions” in other countries. The United States is a habitual offender in this regard, and the CIA is the main force. For other countries, the infiltration and influence of the United States is everywhere, visible and tangible. Where is the need to “reveal the news”?
We still don’t know the specific purpose of the “former U.S. official” who broke the news to Reuters. A CIA spokesman declined to comment on the existence, objectives or impact of the operation, as did a spokesman for the Biden administration’s National Security Council. That means neither admitting nor denying. The U.S. intelligence agencies often use false information mixed with real information to create confusion. Similar methods were used on Snowden. Reuters’ revelations are valuable, but they need to be processed twice to filter out the truly useful parts.
First of all, this revelation has a strong color of defending the United States’ penetration into China. The U.S.’s proactive attack on China’s cognitive war is described as the U.S.’s passive counterattack against China and Russia’s “cyber attacks.” In fact, by packaging itself as a weak person or a victim and labeling its hegemonic behavior as “just”, this is part of the cognitive war waged by the United States abroad.
One U.S. official interviewed by Reuters even said that it felt like China was attacking the United States with “steel baseball bats,” while the United States could only use “wooden (baseball bats) to fight back.” This man’s acting is too exaggerated and too clumsy. The United States has always fought with an open fire. When did it take a “wooden stick”? Over the decades, the CIA has overthrown or attempted to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments. Other statistics show that between 1946 and 2000, the United States attempted to influence elections in 45 countries 81 times to achieve regime change. As a habitual offender of manipulating public opinion, the United States has long formed a series of routines in targeted propaganda, information release, creating incidents, fabricating rumors, inciting public opinion, and manipulating the media. It also creates new tactics and uses new tactics based on changes in the situation at any time. technology. These are all open secrets. The United States dresses itself up like a little sheep, which has only comedic effect but no propaganda effect.
Secondly, because the United States’ intervention and infiltration into other countries are all behind-the-scenes operations, this revelation still gives the outside world an opportunity to get a glimpse of the specific methods of the United States. For example, the whistleblower admitted that the CIA formed a team of agents to use false online identities to spread negative information about the Chinese government and at the same time deliver defamatory content to overseas news organizations. This echoes what current CIA Director Burns said before that more resources have been invested in carrying out intelligence activities against China, and confirms the existence of the U.S. “1450” (cyber troll) team against China.
For another example, the whistleblower admitted that the CIA also focused on public opinion in Southeast Asia, Africa and the South Pacific, spreading remarks that discredited the “One Belt, One Road” initiative. This shows that in the process of the public opinion war against China instigated by the United States, the global public opinion field, especially the public opinion field in the countries of the “Global South”, is their key target. As China has always pointed out, the various “China threat theories” circulating in third-party countries are controlled by US intelligence agencies.
The United States has never been shy about its hegemony and has never considered infringing upon the sovereignty of other countries as a shameful thing. This is even more infuriating than the act of hegemony itself. In his opinion piece published last month, American economist Jeffrey Sachs criticized the CIA for blatantly violating international law and having a devastating impact on global stability and the rule of law in the United States, leading to “regional conflicts, hundreds of thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of deaths.” Thousands of people were displaced.” He also criticized the mainstream media in the United States for failing to question or investigate the CIA. In fact, the mainstream media in the United States not only failed to play a supervisory role, but also acted as an accomplice. How many rumors created by the CIA spread through the mouths of mainstream American media? When did they reflect on and make corrections?
We’ve also seen U.S. intelligence services have more sinister intentions. As admitted in the revelations, it has stimulated China to invest a lot of resources in cognitive warfare defense, busy “catching ghosts”, and disrupting China’s development rhythm. First of all, we would like to thank them for their reminder. At the same time, we will not let external factors interfere with our strategic determination to handle our own affairs well. For China and the whole world, the CIA should be exposed more fully, clearly, and thoroughly. The deeper people understand their true face, the stronger their screening capabilities will be. Letting the CIA work in vain, or stealing the chicken but losing the rice, is the best preventive effect. (Global Times editorial)
