      I mean, if they are then you should be rooting for them. Your living conditions would skyrocket under Chinese hegemony

        What do you mean “what psyops”? Are you unaware that both China and the US, as well as almost every other country around the world, conduct foreign influence campaigns?

        And I’m sure I don’t need to give you examples of American campaigns. Most of Hollywood contributes.

            I’d be more surprised if countries like the US, China, and Russia weren’t trying to influence each other.

          can you please tell me how exactly chinese psyops will destroy the US? 'cause i can’t really see how anything they could would hurt the world.

          would the chinese, perhaps, campaign for communism in the US? how could that possibly be bad?

            It seemed like the best source available from a ten-second Google search while taking a shit, but I can nip down to the local CIA field office and pick up some classified ops docs if you want a primary source, I’m sure they make that info available.
