Better targeted psyops. Same the the CIA does.
what psyops?
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.
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?
