Pro-China X (formerly Twitter) accounts are running a coordinated campaign against President Marcos Jr. and the Philippines’ West PH Sea efforts while amplifying content favoring VP Sara Duterte.
Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) temporarily restricted a network of Chinese-linked accounts involved in coordinated attacks against President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. after his signing of landmark laws asserting Manila’s rights over the West Philippine Sea.
A wave of suspicious X (formerly Twitter) accounts simultaneously posted screenshots of the debunked “polvoron” video, which falsely showed President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. using illegal drugs, just days after the Philippines passed laws asserting its sovereignty over the West Philippine Sea.
Chinese state media organizations have been using the Filipino language to propagate pro-China messages on websites and social media.
