Well, here's a prime candidate for deportation:
A
sprawling online network tied to Chinese businessman Guo Wengui has
become a potent platform for disinformation in the United States,
attacking the safety of coronavirus
vaccines, promoting false election-fraud claims and spreading baseless
QAnon conspiracies, according to research published Monday by the
network analysis company Graphika.
The report,
provided in advance to The Washington Post, details a network that
Graphika says amplifies the views of Guo, a Chinese real estate
developer whose association with former Trump White House adviser
Stephen K. Bannon became a focus of news coverage last year after Bannon
was arrested aboard Guo’s yacht on federal fraud charges. [snip]
Graphika’s research sheds more light on Guo, a onetime billionaire
real estate developer who, in addition to his relationship with Bannon,
has drawn attention for the confusing mix of disinformation and
invective he has broadcast since moving to the United States, including
contradictory attacks on both the Chinese Communist Party and anti-CCP
dissidents in the West. [snip]
Information disseminated by the entities that Graphika defined as the
network focuses primarily on attacking China’s political leadership, but
the network also has played a loud, persistent and largely overlooked
role in U.S. politics, including in fueling falsehoods — repeatedly
rejected by investigators and courts — that widespread fraud marred the
2020 election. [snip]
After
the election, content across the network embraced President Donald
Trump’s false election-fraud claims and the related #StoptheSteal
hashtag, and promoted Trump’s plans for a Jan. 6 rally
in Washington, Graphika found. During the rally and subsequent storming
of the U.S. Capitol, GTV featured live streams of the action, which Guo
supporters promoted on social media, along with material calling members of the mob “patriots.”
Later, GNews and other wings of the network pushed false conspiracies that the violence was the work of antifa, Graphika found.
There's more at the link on Guo's operation.
We'd be willing to bet that some additional digging would turn up connections to Falun Gong, the pseudo- religious cult that's also involved in promoting right- wing politicians and causes here and around the world through such media as The Epoch Times. It might be worth the Federal government's time to explore Guo's operation more fully and see if his destabilizing actions merit, at the very least, deportation.
