A Chinese social media operation that aims to whip up political anger in the West has called for the overthrow of a foreign government when impersonating protesters criticising flood relief efforts in Spain, online analysis outfit Graphika said.
New York-based Graphika said an operation dubbed Spamouflage, which it believed was linked to the Chinese state, posed this month as human rights group Safeguard Defenders to spread online calls for the government to be toppled in response to the catastrophic floods in October that killed 224 people.
“This is the first time we have seen Spamouflage directly calling to overthrow a foreign government,” Graphika said in its latest report.

Must of freed up a lot of personal that usually influence another country I can think of that got influenced pretty godamn hard the last few years
Any reporting from a country that’s not in a hot phase of a trade war with the country being reported on? I feel like someone wants to manufacture consent as well.
The only source is Graphika, a US based research group that I haven’t heard of before, which according to Wikipedia is known for investigating China only and that has started in 2021. US media is currently blasting China on every front for damaging fragile ego of Sam Altman, hence I’m looking for any different perspective.
The same country that has Elongated Musket trying to support right wing parties all over Europe.
