How Chinese Communist Party Influenced Media Ops in India: Intel Agencies' Insights
News 18After The New York Times’ latest investigative report on how China has “lavishly funded influence campaign” to push its propaganda, intelligence agencies in India have found how the Chinese Communist Party has been using media, e-commerce businesses or start-ups aggressively to carry out anti-India operations and create public opinions. Police said Sharma was in touch with a Chinese intelligence official since 2016 and had allegedly sent him classified information related to the Indian Army deployment on the China-Bhutan-India tri-junction, including Doklam. One Indian media outlet also did a favourably scripted interview of a Chinese Ambassador on Galwan clashes of May 2020, and after the backlash, Prasar Bharti reviewed its relationship with the wire agency. It has come to the notice of Indian intelligence agencies that mostly regional channels, which are continuously doing shows on the India-China relations, have received education degree and training from Chinese universities.
