Chinese state-affiliated actors alleged to run AI-driven diplomatic personas on social media

In 2023 researchers reported coordinated influence campaigns that used AI-generated avatars and synthetic personas to promote pro-China narratives across YouTube and other social platforms. Independent research groups (ASPI, Graphika) documented instances of AI-enabled video and avatar use and flagged the campaigns as coordinated and inauthentic; press outlets subsequently reported the findings. Attribution to Chinese state-affiliated actors is reported by researchers and framed as alleged.
