Description

Jane Tang of RFA’s Mandarin Service tells Eyes on Asia how fake news with anti-U.S. themes is circulated by China’s troll army and Chinese Communist Party-linked accounts on social media to overseas Chinese communities in countries such as Thailand, while China’s state media spread Beijing-friendly content across Asia. And Giang Nguyen of RFA Vietnamese discusses the perils of standing as a truly independent candidate in the elections for Vietnam’s rubber stamp parliament that take place May 23. Presented by RFA’s Mat Pennington and Paul Eckert.
